You'll also have regular 1:1 time with your manager, especially during your induction, and again there will be a balance between doing this remotely and in-person, so you have opportunities to form in-person connections. If shortlisted, the hiring manager will be able to give you more insight into what a typical week or month might look like should you join us.

You might work within Private Law team, where there is disagreement on the best arrangements for the welfare of the child(ren) involved), a Public Law team, where local authorities have raised serious welfare concerns, or a converged team covering both law types. Whatever the team you join, the underlying role is the same - to speak on behalf of children and young people to ensure their thoughts, wishes and feelings are not just understood but heard. As the only organisation that does this kind of work, FCAs can make recommendations leading to lasting change for children and families, which is why this it is responsibility we take seriously. And why we're committed to creating a safe, healthy and supportive environment for our colleagues to practice. What you'll be doing As a FCA at Cafcass, you will: Complete high quality assessments, engaging directly with children to understand their experiences, wishes and feelings - and ensure these are clearly and powerfully represented to the family court. Apply your expertise in risk assessment, analysis and mediation, advocating for solutions that place the child's safety, wellbeing and long term interests at the centre of decision making. Work with adults, local authorities, and a wide range of professionals to help resolve complex issues and influence better outcomes for children. Who we're looking for: We're looking for practitioners who are confident, curious, compassionate and committed to excellent social work practice. To join us, you'll need: A Social Work qualification is essential. Have the Right to Work in the UK (we don't sponsor people to work in the UK). Registered with Social Work England (or likely to be able to register quickly if practising outside England). Recent, relevant experience of working directly with children and families. It's desirable you'll have experience in family court proceedings, or knowledge of Private and/or Public Law. For applicants with limited post qualifying experience, relevant pre qualifying experience supporting children and families may be beneficial. Strong organisational skills, professional resilience and the ability to work independently while effectively managing a varied caseload. You can view the full job description in the vacancy documents. Where you'll work Our Social Workers work flexibly across multiple settings - including the offices in either Bristol, Swindon, Reading, and Oxford, home, courts, schools and other appropriate, safe locations, and we ensure you have the technology to do this. Shared learning is very important to us, and we bring our teams together regularly, both remotely and in-person, for team meetings and group supervision, which creates space to connect with peers and managers, reflect on practice, and feel supported. You'll also have regular 1:1 time with your manager, especially during your induction, and again there will be a balance between doing this remotely and in-person, so you have opportunities to form in-person connections. If shortlisted, the hiring manager will be able to give you more insight into what a typical week or month might look like should you join us. How we support you As the largest employer of Children's Social Workers in England, we're uniquely placed to support your professional growth and wellbeing. At Cafcass, you'll benefit from: High quality equipment and technology to help you work efficiently and engage with families effectively. Access to specialist resources, guidance and training to strengthen your practice. A strong commitment to wellbeing, reflective supervision and healthy work-life balance. An inclusive environment that values diversity, encourages learning and constantly strives to improve outcomes for children, families and colleagues alike. You can find more about how we support our practitioners on our website, and we'll share more during the selection process. Next steps Below we have set out an indicative timetable we are hoping to work towards, although dates are subject to change. Closing date: 13th April 2026. Telephone interviews: TBC. Final Interview: TBC. If you have any questions about the role or recruitment process, please contact - Before applying, we encourage you to read about our offer and pre-employment checks . Any questions or concerns can be confidentially raised through your application. Successful applicants will complete several pre engagement checks, including a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. If any criminal offences are disclosed, we will conduct an individual assessment in line with the DBS code of practice and the Cafcass DBS policy . We look forward to receiving your application! Be Their Voice We are Cafcass - the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service - and we represent children in family court cases in England. Independently advising the family courts about what is safe for children and in their best interests, we speak up for over 140,0000 children every year when the family court makes critical decisions about their futures, ensuring their needs, wishes and feelings are heard. Watch our video to find out we don't just listen to children's voices but we can be their voice. If our purpose resonates with you, and you share our ambitions for children - exceptional experiences, for every child, everywhere and every time - then if you join us, you will work alongside like-minded people in a diverse, inclusive and supportive organisation. You will be trusted to work flexibly and independently using outstanding technology (e.g. touchscreen laptops, iPhone, all with first class support, including IT Trainers) with access to substantial resources (e.g. Cafcass Library has over 27,000 resources on social work, child protection and related topics). You will also have opportunities to develop, whatever team you join, wherever you are in the country and at whatever stage you are at in your career. Whether you join us in one of our social work roles that work directly with children and families or our corporate and business services teams who provide technology, support and expertise, you will have the chance to make a difference for children and families. You can also find out more at . Wellbeing The wellbeing of our colleagues is something we are truly passionate about, as demonstrated by everyone having four dedicated, additional days per year when they are encouraged to spend time focusing on their health and wellbeing. Colleagues can also have a health and wellbeing cash plan, for which Cafcass pays the basic premium (you can upgrade to include family members), which allows them to claim back some costs of routine health expenses, including dental check-ups, eye tests, physiotherapy sessions and more. Overall, we foster a holistic approach to supporting our colleagues, benefitting physical, mental and financial health. This is led by a dedicated in-house team, the benefits of which include meaning support is targeted and specific to what colleagues need. Our team can also offer support and guidance when it comes to specific health conditions, such as neuro-diverse conditions, cancer and the menopause. Our wellbeing offer is further strengthened by an external Employee Assistance Provider (EAP) which provides a free confidential support service 24 hours a day. This means access to clinical and professional expertise which gives you a chance to talk about all kinds of work and personal issues. If this wasn't enough, we are especially proud that over 125 colleagues have completed training and receive ongoing support to act as Health and Wellbeing Champions. Furthermore, we have nearly 100 people that have trained to be Mental Health Allies.
Director of Fundraising AllChild London, UK (Hybrid options available) Full-time and permanent role Salary: Highly competitive to attract an outstanding professional Help every child and young person flourish. How? Help us double our income and deepen our impact. We're a national charity with a local heartbeat - working with communities so that every child and young person can access the right support, at the right time, in the right way. Our place-based approach is rooted in early identification, trusted adult relationships, whole child/whole system support and joined-up communities. Our model has been successfully funded so far through a unique collective impact funding model across local and central government, schools and philanthropy, and we aim for a broader mix of funders who are committed to transforming their communities. As we embark on our second decade, we are ready for this next chapter: scaling our place-based model nationally and doubling our annual income from £8m to £16m+. To achieve this, we are now seeking an exceptional Director of Fundraising, who will help to design and drive a roadmap for a significant increase in philanthropy alongside the public sector engagement team. This is more than a fundraising role or a seat at the Executive Team table. It's a chance to shape strategy, influence systems, and unlock the investment needed to transform outcomes for thousands more children and young people. It will therefore take an exceptional individual to lead and deliver our income strategy across all non-government funding streams - building powerful partnerships with major donors, Trusts & Foundations and corporations. You'll define and articulate compelling cases for support, build and steward significant donor relationships, and grow a high-performing team who are ready to match this next level of our ambition. If you've personally secured transformational gifts, built teams that thrive, and know how to turn vision into strong philanthropic propositions, this is your chance and platform to enact real and lasting change. Underpinning your success in this role will be your broad and robust track record of developing attractive philanthropic opportunities, and engaging high-value donors and securing gifts at the 6-figure level or more. Your natural flair for story-telling and influencing, and approachable and collegial personal style, swiftly engenders trust from those around you. Your entrepreneurial and enterprising mindset, and highly developed interpersonal skills, will inspire confidence and motivate others to drive change. This is a very hands-on role so experience in high-growth charities will be highly desirable, and you will need to be able to navigate some ambiguity and "the new" as we grow. Whether you are securing the gift or supporting others in the success of this, most importantly, you are motivated by achieving transformative outcomes that matter. If you're driven by purpose, inspired by growth and ready to unlock transformational funding for children across the UK, we'd love to hear from you.
