Supervising Contact Worker (maternity cover)

Maternity cover fixed term contract - 12 months

Do you have a genuine passion for supporting families and creating positive outcomes for children?  If so, we’d love to hear from you!

We’re looking for a dedicated Supervising Contact Worker to join our team at Slough Children First on 12 month fixed term contract basis.  This is a vital role where you’ll help children and families maintain safe, meaningful connections during challenging times.

As one of our Supervising Contact Workers, you’ll ensure supervised contact sessions are delivered to the highest standard, fostering positive communication between children, young people, and their families.  You‘ll carry out agreed activities and interventions in line with the case-holding social worker’s plan, confidently managing and de-escalating challenging situations, while attending meetings, reviews, case conferences, and court hearings as required.

As a Supervising Contact Worker, you’ll have experience working with children and young people from diverse backgrounds, particularly those who are vulnerable.  With strong communication skills, resilience, and a commitment to making a difference, you’ll have the ability to collaborate effectively with professionals such as social workers, reviewing officers, schools, and foster carers.

If you're looking for a new challenge and want to be part of an exciting time for children's services in Slough, then come and join us.  In return, we can offer you:

• Training and development opportunities
• Agile working supported by technology
• Flexible working policies
• Friendly working environment and great colleagues.

Slough is one of the most diverse places in the country outside of London and a great place to live or work. In fact it's the best place to live or work according to a survey by Glassdoor. Pleasant environments, above average salaries and a lower cost of living, mean an increased quality of life for employees. We're also one of the most accessible places to be, nestled on the corner of the M25, M4 and M40, and less than 20 minutes by train to Central London.
