Overview
We are seeking a passionate and creative individual, with experience working with children and families to join our pivotal Family Link Team. As Family Link Worker, you will act as a link between families and the wider service provided by Noah’s Ark, assessing their needs and introducing them to appropriate services. You will continue to support the family, as needed during their child’s time with Noah’s Ark and in some cases post bereavement.
About You
The ideal candidate will have experience of working with children and families with complex needs in a key worker or family support role. Experience of needs assessment and care planning would be beneficial. You will enjoy working independently but also capable of effective team working, ideally with experience of inter-professional working across health, education and social care. You will be familiar with the needs of children with disabilities and complex needs and understand the challenges facing families. You will have strong interpersonal skills, an enthusiastic work attitude and a flexible approach to the changing work environment. A full driving licence and access to your own vehicle for business use is desirable to cover our wide geographical operating region. Experience of bereavement work would be ideal, but is not essential, as training will be provided.

Our diversity council is working hard to construct positive changes within our organisation. We are a disability confident employer and part of our commitment is to interview all applicants with a disability who meet the minimum criteria for a job vacancy and consider them on their abilities.
