The Prevention and Intervention Service is a key delivery area within Children and Young People’s Services, Directorate of Social Care and Learning. The principal aim of the Service is to provide a range of early intervention services for vulnerable families in Havering, both through children’s centre and specialist social care provision.

Following a recent reorganisation in the Service, we are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our Contact Team based at St Kildas. The role will mean that you will have to provide support to the Children Centre also based within St Kildas.

In this role, you will offer administration and reception support within the centre. You will be expected to already have substantial experience in a client-facing administrative support role, ideally in a childcare or similar setting.

Applicants should be able to demonstrate that they enjoy working with young children and families and that they want to join us to make a difference in the lives of young children living in Havering.

This post will include some flexible working.

For an informal discussion please call Anne
Gajewska on 01708 743 135.

This post is exempt from the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974; the successful applicant will be expected to undertake a satisfactory disclosure. Having a criminal record will not necessarily debar you from obtaining a position with the Council.

Any disabled applicants meeting the essential criteria set out in the person profile for a job will be guaranteed an interview.

Closing date for receipt of applications is on 22nd March 2010.
