About the role

The Children and Families Department takes a strengths‑based approach to working with each other, children, young people and families, and our partner agencies. We call this 'Our Nottinghamshire Approach'. Watch the two minute animation to learn more.

Gedling Family Hub Network (including, but not limited to, Netherfield Family Hub, NG4 2HU, Calverton Family Hub NG14 6JZ, Arnbrook Family Hub NG5 8NE, Killisick Family Hub NG5 8BY)

This is a great time to join our teams as locally we are transforming our Children’s Centre Service into Family Hub Networks. Our work with children 0-5 years, and their families, remains part of our core offer, and we continue to expand our service offer to 0-19 years.

• Be well organised and able to demonstrate initiative

You will also need to be skilled in using a range of IT software including MS Word, Excel, Teams and SharePoint; training will be given on specialist systems that are used within the service. The role requires accurate data inputting and awareness of confidentiality and the General Data Protection Regulations.

Please note that this is an office‑based role due to the need of welcoming families with children, and young people into the building. You will need a full driving licence and access to your own vehicle (a taxi service will be provided where disability precludes this); you will also need to travel between sites.

The work pattern for this role will be Monday – Thursday, with three days 08:30 am – 04:30 pm and one day 08:30 am – 05:00 pm.
