Ready for Your Next Leadership Challenge?

Do you have experience working with children and young people in residential care? Are you passionate about helping young people overcome adversity and achieve positive outcomes? Do you enjoy supporting colleagues, leading by example, and making a lasting difference?

If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join our Emotional Well-being Home in Leicestershire as a Senior Residential Children & Young People's Worker on a full-time, permanent basis.

About the Service

Barnardo's, the UK's largest children's charity, works in partnership with Leicestershire County Council to provide high-quality residential care for some of the county's most vulnerable children and young people.

Our homes provide safe, stable and nurturing environments for children and young people aged 8–18 who may have experienced trauma, disrupted attachments, loss, neglect, or other complex life experiences. We support a small number of young people at any one time, enabling us to provide highly individualised care and build meaningful relationships that promote emotional wellbeing, resilience, confidence and independence.

Our practice is rooted in trauma-informed, attachment-aware and relationship-based approaches. We believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, listened to and supported to achieve their full potential.

Whilst this home will be your primary base, flexibility is required as there may occasionally be opportunities to support other residential services across Leicestershire.

About the Role

As a Senior Residential Children & Young People's Worker, you will play a key role in supporting the day-to-day operation of the home and providing leadership during shifts.

Working alongside the management team, you will help create a safe, nurturing and structured environment where children and young people can thrive. You will act as a positive role model, supporting colleagues to deliver high-quality care and ensuring that safeguarding remains at the centre of practice.

About The Role

This is an18 month fixed term opportunity to take ownership of the volunteer experience behind one of the UK’s most recognised fundraising campaigns. As Volunteer Experience Manager, you’ll shape how thousands of volunteers feel, engage and stay connected throughout their journey with the Poppy Appeal. From impactful national communications and volunteer storytelling to improving onboarding and retention, this is a role for someone who knows how to create experiences that people genuinely want to be part of. You’ll understand how the right message, delivered at the right time, can turn a volunteer into a long-term advocate, and you’ll constantly be looking for smarter, more engaging ways to connect with people at scale.

Come and be part of the leading Armed Forces charity, making a difference to the lives of those who have served to keep us safe and protect our way of life.

We’re looking for someone who combines creativity with commercial awareness and can confidently influence change across a large, fast-paced operation. You’ll work closely with marketing, digital and fundraising teams, as well as Poppy Appeal Managers across the UK, using insight and feedback to continuously improve the volunteer journey. Whether it’s refining recruitment campaigns, simplifying processes, improving communications or introducing new ideas to boost engagement, you’ll have the freedom to challenge the status quo and make a visible impact. Strong copywriting skills, confidence using CRM and digital marketing tools, and the ability to turn data into action will all be key to success in this role.

This role would suit someone who thrives on building relationships, spotting opportunities and creating campaigns and experiences that genuinely resonate with people. You’ll bring experience in supporter engagement, volunteer or donor retention, and national-scale recruitment activity, alongside the confidence to influence stakeholders at all levels. Most importantly, you’ll be someone who understands what motivates people to give their time, and how to keep them inspired, informed and connected long after they first sign up.

You will be contracted to your home address, and you will perform most of your work remotely there using our collaboration tools to work with colleagues, with occasional travel (incl. for monthly team meetings).

Employee benefits include -

- 28 day’s paid holiday (plus bank holidays) increasing with service, with optional annual leave purchase scheme of up to 5 working days

- Generous pension contributions, with Employer contributions ranging from 6% to 10%

· Practical and people-oriented - you will thrive working at a fast pace whilst maintaining accuracy and be a confident user of IT (including MSOffice)

· A persuasive and open communicator - you will work collaboratively with your team and volunteers to ensure delivery of a high-quality service and support fundraising colleagues by writing case studies and family updates

· A practical knowledge of diversity issues affecting children, young people and their families – aware that being responsive to others needs and concerns, is essential.

What we offer:

We are proud to be a Best Companies Two-Star rated organisation, an outstanding place to work! As a Top 10 Charity, we have a range of fantastic benefits that we offer our employees, including:

• Control over your own schedule, based on the needs of families on your caseload, to balance home and working life

About us:

Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity enables families who have a child with a life-threatening or terminal illness to make the most of time together, providing expert, practical and emotional support, where they need it for as long as it is needed. For families living with childhood illness, time is everything. Right now, there are too many families coping alone with no support, no time to think, no time to make memories and no time for each other. We believe that no family should go through this alone, so we are here to change that.

The successful candidate will ideally be located in the Humber region with the ability to travel where required.

WWTW’s Care Coordination service involves the assessment of needs for your client, the sourcing of appropriate support and the ongoing navigation of that support.

We are looking for a Veteran Liaison Support Officer (VLSO) who can work within a muti disciplinary team and fully appreciates the patience, resilience and self-motivation that is required to support a dispersed and diverse caseload of individuals.

The Veteran Liaison Support Officer (VLSO) will have a caseload of ex-servicemen and women who may, at times, be facing multiple complex needs. Working with local delivery partners, you will make referrals for support, whilst retaining the overall caseworker responsibilities. Your role will be crucial to the success of the service user’s outcome. If you are an experienced caseworker with an understanding of working with clients who require tailored support, we would like to hear from you.

​*Applicants should ideally reside within Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, Whitby, Scarborough, Ryedale, parts of North and North-East Lincolnshire and possible travel to North Yorkshire, with the ability to travel across the region as required.
