The TACT Children's Support Worker role requires flexibility regarding hours and days of work - this is not a full time time role. The hours are occasional, inconsistent and irregular depending on the needs of the foster children and foster families. This includes evenings, weekends, bank holidays and during school holidays. 

TACT's Children's Support Workers provide essential service as part of the team, working in close partnership with parents, carers, children, young people, local authorities and their social workers. Child Support Workers are a big part of the organised activities of our families and the role provides post holders with varied and rewarding duties.  The nature of the role means our Child Support Workers have the maximum opportunity for flexible working - allowing you to undertake meaningful work scheduled around your own personal circumstances. 

Please see the Job Description and Information Pack for more details.

An enhanced DBS clearance is required for this role, which TACT will undertake on your behalf. 

Closing: Midnight Sunday 8th September 2024
