This is an exciting opportunity to work alongside local residents in the heart of the Efford community offering information, advice, guidance and support, and a range of activities which promote child development or general wellbeing to residents from antenatal services right through to later years.

The usual opening hours for Family hubs is 830am-430pm, however there will be an expectation of evening and weekend working according to service need.

It is important that you read the generic job description and specification, as well as the

we do, and the work that you will be involved in. When completing your application, please share your skills, knowledge and experience against this criteria. We welcome transferable skills and personal experience for this role.

A driving licence and access to own transport is desirable, however, candidates who don't
drive or have access to a car will be considered where they can demonstrate their ability to
access all areas of the city as required; mileage expenses are payable and reasonable
. We envisage the majority of the role being carried out in Efford, however as we are a citywide organisation there are times where you will be asked to travel to another site.

Pay & Reward FrameworkWe know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.


For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.


Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band - this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.
