You will be a skilled communicator and reflective practitioner, able to teach, coach and support participants and Consultant Social Workers across a range of settings, while helping to create high-quality learning experiences that improve practice for children and families. We have a fast-moving culture within the team and organisation, so we’re looking for someone who is who is well organised, details-focused and can use their initiative to do what works.

You will have excellent communication skills, be able to build relationships with people and be willing to learn. There are lots of opportunities for growth and development in this role – and for the right candidate to make the role their own. If you feel you have the skills to make a real impact and contribute to creating lasting social change for children and families, we would love to hear from you. Important information We have increased the diversity of Frontline’s workforce in the last 12 months, but we need to do more to have greater global majority representation in our senior roles.

We know the value global majority voices bring and therefore, we are strongly encouraging applicants from these backgrounds to apply. We are also a disability confident employer and welcome applicants with disabilities. We recognise that artificial intelligence (AI) such as ‘ChatGPT’ etc can be useful for applicants e.g. to shorten an initial draft, so we do not attempt to have an absolute ban on AI in applications.

However we would caution applicants not to rely too much on AI in drafting answers to application questions. We want to hear your authentic voice arising out of your experience, and we will be looking for answers that use examples and experiences that are specific to you. You are more likely to be able to produce that kind of content yourself than an AI will. We reserve the right to close this role ahead of the deadline once we reach a suitable number of applications, so please apply as soon as you can! This role is ineligible for sponsorship and so all applicants must have the right to work in the UK.

For further information about this role, please contact Karen Hewer, Interim Head of Delivery (North) (see job pack for contact details).
