Work for Us

The mission of Family Rights Group is to create a more socially just society in which the child welfare and family justice systems support children to live safely and thrive within their family, while strengthening the family and community networks of those children who cannot live at home.

Please look at our webpage regularly for new posts to which we are recruiting, alongside the job description, person specification, salary, application form and links to other key documents. The application process, including who is managing the process and the timeframe, will be clearly outlined. We will contact shortlisted applicants within four weeks to arrange an interview. If you have not heard from us within that time, then unfortunately, your application has not been successful.

All appointees will want to work with families, be sensitive to their needs and committed to the aims of Family Rights Group. Family Rights Group is committed to a continuous review of its recruitment policy and procedures in order to promote greater equality, anti-discrimination, and an understanding of protected characteristics in application and assessment processes. Measures we have implemented include anonymised shortlisting of all candidates, flexible arrangements for assessments, and diverse interview panels.

We are also a disability confident employer, and we are working to ensure that the recruitment process for all posts is inclusive and accessible.
