Do you have experience working with families and looking for a flexible role where you can make a difference to children in the local area?
As a Child Contact Supervisor, you’ll play a crucial role in facilitating safe and supportive family time between children and their non-resident parents or significant others.
A child contact centre offers a welcoming space for children to nurture or re-establish contact with a parent or their significant others. The children we work with may be living with a parent, an extended family member or foster carers.
Applicants must live near Eastbourne or Hastings and be willing to work at both centres as well as the Sussex community as well as undertake child transport, when required, to and from contact sessions.
Travel time and mileage are paid when supervising sessions in the community or undertaking child transport but not when working in the closest child contact centre to the contact supervisors home.

- Regular liaison with families, legal and childcare professionals.
- Writing good quality contact reports after sessions. Candidates must have a computer and MS Word.

- Attending relevant post- induction training on safeguarding and any other topical issues.
- Engaging in regular formal and informal supervision.
- Working in line with AGFS policies and procedures.

Part Time Community Family Support Worker
As a community-based Family Support Worker, you’ll play a vital role in supporting children and families through outreach, welfare checks, and community-based assessments across the Southeast. You'll work both in the community and in family homes, making a tangible difference in their lives. You must be confident to undertake lone working in a family home, once full trained.
Shift length varies per family but most of the work will be short term in the family home. We can have occasional 12hr /24hr shifts available day and night often as the early stages of an overall assessment, for those looking for more hours, but are optional.
Applicants must be flexible and willing to travel. We would expect candidates to be willing to drive to where the support is needed. This will vary with each family, as we work in their homes, but on occasions could be up to 2 hrs drive from your location. However this would be whilst an assessment is underway for example, which typically will be for a few weeks on a shift basis and all our teams can choose which work to accept.
Part Time Community Child Contact Supervisors
As a community based child contact supervisor you would be overseeing family time spent between a parent and child not living together and writing a report up afterwards. The children we work with may be living with a parent, an extended family member or foster carers
Once a parent or Local Authority in your area requests our child contact services, and a family is allocated to you, contact sessions tend to take place on a regular basis e.g. 2/3 hrs once a week over many months, although each family’s needs are different and so the frequency and length of sessions would vary.
This is a community based role so contact sessions may be around your county and we would expect our contact supervisors to travel up to one hour to facilitate sessions, further would be at your discretion.
