Are you looking for a rewarding role working in the community with vulnerable families within a growing charity?
About the role
As our Project Worker in Walsall, you’ll be based within the local authority team, working in partnership to set up and deliver our new support service for special guardians and other kinship carers.
You’ll be supporting kinship families in their homes and in the community, providing information, advice and signposting to local services. You’ll connect them with other carers through peer support groups that offer a lifeline for many and run preparation workshops for carers thinking of becoming special guardians.
What we’re looking for
Our kinship carers are at the heart of what we do, so you’ll be absolutely committed to the work of Grandparents Plus and passionate about making a difference to the lives of vulnerable families.
We’re seeking an experienced project worker who is passionate about working with kinship carers and issues affecting children on the edge of the care system in order to transform the support they receive. We are looking for someone who has the interpersonal and partnership skills to perform their role sensitively and creatively and who is able to work collaboratively with Walsall Council, who have commissioned our service to support Special Guardians in their local authorities.
The nature of our work means that things can change quickly, so you’ll need to be able to problem solve and keep a cool head.
This role will be what you make it and we’re looking for someone to seize this opportunity.
About Grandparents Plus
Kinship care begins in crisis. A child whose parents are unable to care for them. It’s frightening, painful, confusing. For the child, it can feel like their world is ending.
Instinctively, a loved one steps in – a grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle or family friend. They are now a kinship carer, bringing up the children they love. There’s no chance to prepare. Plans are pushed aside. Relationships, jobs and savings are sacrificed.
It’s life changing and challenging raising children who’ve been hurt or neglected, but kinship carers do it without a thought for themselves because they put the children first.
And it’s a fight to get support. Kinship families raising over 200,000 children are on the brink of going under because there’s no recognition or support. They feel invisible. They are desperate.
At Grandparents Plus, we know how hard life can be for kinship carers. But we’ve seen the amazing things they’re capable of with someone by their side. With the right support, children raised in kinship families flourish.
That’s why we support, connect and campaign. To keep kinship families stronger by keeping them together.
Why work for us?
At Grandparents Plus, we are passionate about improving the lives of kinship carers and the children they raise. They deserve to be recognised, valued and properly supported so that the children they are raising have the best possible start in life.
It’s a fast-paced environment, with plenty of opportunity to put your ideas into practice to positively change the lives of vulnerable families. You will be joining the charity at an exciting time as we embark on a new phase of development - growing commissioned services, reaching more people who need us with advice and support, developing innovative digital services and diversifying our fundraising. Working with us, you’ll see your efforts pay off as we fight for a better future for kinship care families.
We’re a friendly team, passionate about doing good better. If that sounds like you, why don’t you join us?
To apply, please send a CV (no more than 2 pages) with a covering letter (no more than 2 pages) to show how you meet the criteria set out in the person specification and why you want the role.
Please note that all interviews & induction will be held via video call for now and all services will be delivered remotely.
