Nice to have
Ability to drive and have access to a car would be an advantage.
The role
An exciting opportunity has arisen to Sheffield's Family Group Conference (FGC) Team for a temporary period to cover the absence of the existing postholder.
We're looking for a confident, compassionate and highly organised Family Group Conference Coordinator to join our Sheffield team. You'll be working directly with families to coordinate strengths-based, inclusive planning meetings that empower children and their extended networks to find safe, sustainable solutions. The role involves direct family work, creative problem-solving, advocacy, and coordination of everything from venues and food to childcare and meeting resources.
If you're passionate about family-led decision making and want to make a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
How you'll work
The post holder will be required to work flexibly to meet the needs of the families. This will involve some work outside of normal office hours and maybe require occasional weekend working.
Requirements
You will need to hold the following qualifications to apply for the post:
Working Arrangements
Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council, including reduced hour contracts, working part time or as a job share.
If you are appointed to this role, your starting salary will be at the bottom of the grade. If you provide payslip evidence that your basic pay is greater than the bottom of the grade, we will consider starting you at the point of minimum advantage within the grade.
