We teach in-school rock and pop band lessons to primary age children. We're a community of musicians and music-lovers, on a mission to remove barriers to music education so that no child gets left behind. We're currently in thousands of schools in the UK, teaching over 100,000 children every week - and we're growing fast. Join us as a band leader and your passion will inspire the next generation. Our band leaders often come from diverse backgrounds so we know you might not currently be working in a music-related role or have any teaching experience. If you can bring the right combination of musical ability, passion for our purpose and enthusiasm for learning, then we can offer the training you need to succeed in this role. As a band leader you will: Teach groups of primary-age children in a fun, inspiring rock and pop band format in up to 10 schools per week.

Be prepared for highly active days and to spend time on the road driving between schools. You'll need to load and unload your band equipment, set-up and pack away in each location. As a band leader you'll need: To be competent on at least two of the following instruments: drums, guitar, bass, keyboard and vocals. The enthusiasm to learn how to teach band lessons and complete our extensive training programme before you start your timetable. The resilience to work in a role that provides some of your greatest moments and biggest challenges - often all in the same day! The confidence to be yourself at work, be proud of your uniqueness and communicate equally well with children, teachers and parents. The integrity to always promote the safety and well-being of children and young people. To be an organised, independent worker, with good time management and administration skills. A UK/EU driving licence and your own transport. This role requires you to use your own car to transport equipment and drive between schools. We appreciate that previous experience does not always tell the full story, so if you like the sound of this role, don't rule yourself out if you feel you don't tick all the boxes. Benefits Full-time, salaried position (for a contracted period). Work Monday - Friday, daytimes only. 11+ weeks paid holiday per year. Fuel contribution - 45p per business mile. Annual staff bonus - £1,500 per annum. Full training in our progressive teaching methodologies. Comprehensive benefits package, including discounts on everyday purchases and free 24/7 GP service. Enhanced maternity and paternity pay. Celebratory staff away-days, Christmas parties and social events.

Likeminded people are joining us all over the country and we're reaching more and more children with our lessons every week. We keep growing because we're driven by our passion for the life-changing nature of music. Ready to join us? This is your time to use your talents for good. Your Passion. Their Future.

Occasional travel to Bromsgrove and surrounding areas of West Midlands also required. ABOUT US Set up by a former foster parent and former social worker in 1994, Foster Care Associates (FCA) is an established fostering agency which forms part of the Polaris Community - one of the UK's largest leading communities of children's service providers. The business was born out of an enthusiasm for delivering fostering services to make a positive difference to the lives of looked after children. Our first office was in the Worcestershire countryside, and that's still where our Head Office is today. We've come a long way since those early days and, over the years, FCA has built a strong reputation for excellence, and now offers a wide range of services to children and families. But our purpose remains the same; 'to make a positive and lasting difference for children, families and communities', and it's underpinned by a series of values designed to help us assist children and young people to reach their full potential. Today, we're one of the country's largest and most experienced independent fostering agencies. But just because we're large doesn't mean we're impersonal.

DUTIES WILL INCLUDE: Support foster parents and their families to achieve outstanding outcomes for all children and young people in foster care. Support and monitor the continued suitability and competence of Foster parents ensuring they provide a safe, healthy, nurturing and learning environment for children/young people. Ensure that carers fully understand the fostering task, competencies to be achieved and the standards expected, including complaints and representation procedures as detailed in the FCA policies and procedures. Provide and record regular supervision to allocated foster parents in line with FCA's Operational Standards. Work in partnership in a team parenting approach to help identify any needs within the foster family e.g. respite, activities, therapy, holidays, with all members of the child's network, including contributing to all relevant meetings and any other tasks defined. Ensure each child and foster parent are fully compliant in respect of all key documentation. Attend meetings and/or provide reports for Commissioning Teams to address individual packages of care. Promote participation of children/young people in the development of the agency and in accessing resources and opportunities in their local community. Participate in an 'out of hours' support service on a rota basis Undertake occasional initial home visits and Form F Assessments. YOU MUST HAVE: A Social Work qualification Professional registration with Social Work England or equivalent Proven ability to produce a high standard of report writing A comprehensive working knowledge of relevant legislation and child safeguarding procedures The willingness and ability to travel extensively (including occasional nights away) Confidence with transporting children and young people in sometimes stressful/difficult situations Full driving licence For more information about this exciting role, please contact Karen Hodder - Manager in the Process of Registration on (phone number removed).

About the role We are seeking an experienced and qualified immigration advisor to lead on key elements of our Change of Conditions casework service as maternity cover for the coming year including our self-submissions support programme and second-tier CoC advice. The Unity Project (TUP) supports people who are facing poverty and homelessness because their immigration status allows them no recourse to public funds (NRPF). We believe NRPF should not exist and we are working to end it. Until then, we seek to minimise its impact by supporting people to make the change of conditions (CoC) application to access public funds. As part of this work, we continually develop new casework approaches to make CoCs more accessible to more people. By taking a strategic approach to our casework, we have opened up new routes for people to move through the process, and achieved greater recognition of groups with particular needs. We have also supported numerous strategic legal challenges which have prompted significant changes to the immigration rules and guidance related to CoCs. In this cover position, you will play a key role in our strategic casework. You will be responsible for TUP s self-submissions casework provision for applicants who submit their own CoC applications independently. You will support with other strategically significant casework as required, including by liaising with public law firms, writing witness statements for JR challenges and communicating directly with Home Office policy teams. You will also share our CoC expertise with the sector through second-tier advice and training workshops. The role will suit someone who has prior experience of supporting clients with NRPF, an interest in broader immigration policy and the desire to apply those skills to a specialist context. The role requires someone who can adapt quickly and apply a strategic mindset to the challenge of using legal routes to achieving systemic change. About The Unity Project Who we are The Unity Project is a small charity that supports people with Change of Conditions (CoC) applications required for access to public funds. Why we exist We want everyone living in the UK to have equal access to the welfare system. We exist to challenge the 'no recourse to public funds' (NRPF) policy in order to end it and, until then, minimise its impact. Our values We aim to be: Representative of and accountable to people who are navigating or have navigated the systems we want to change. Sustainable, so we can continue our work as long as it is needed. Trauma informed, recognising the impact of prior traumatic experiences and promoting an organisational culture which is safe, transparent, collaborative and responds empathically to each individual s needs. Rooted in community, as we believe that strength comes from relationships of solidarity and mutual support. Equitable to all who give their time to the project. Tenacious, innovative, reflective and adaptable in our casework. Benefits Salary - £42,225 pro rata Flexibility - We work together in person on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Beyond that we can be flexible about how you meet your hours. Annual leave - 35 days pro rata, inclusive of bank holidays, plus a regular Christmas closure period (subject to board approval) Pension - 5% employee contribution, 8% employer contribution Clinical supervision - All staff have access to monthly clinical supervision Wellbeing - All staff have a personal wellbeing budget to spend as they need Professional development - We organise regular all-staff training sessions to address needs identified by the team, and every staff member has an individual training budget for their own professional development. We aim to support all staff to grow and shape their roles in line with their career aspirations. Immigration support - On a case by case basis, we may be able to offer legal assistance with the immigration applications necessary to sustain this employment in compliance with UK immigration law. Working environment - We are a small and friendly team of staff and volunteers. We believe that effective opposition to the hostile environment is rooted in our relationships with each other and our community.

About Us Set up by a former foster parent and former social worker in 1994, Foster Care Associates (FCA) is an established fostering agency which forms part of the Polaris Community - one of the UK's largest leading communities of children's service providers. The business was born out of an enthusiasm for delivering fostering services to make a positive difference to the lives of looked after children.
