Summary

Are you an organised and proactive business support professional who enjoys making things run smoothly and building positive working relationships?

This is an opportunity to play a key role in a pioneering regional Foster Carer Wellbeing Programme, working with local authority partners across the South East to improve support for foster carers and the children and families they care for.

Any successful internal candidate will be offered the position as a secondment and, in line with Section 8.1 of the Secondment Policy, must consult with their manager before applying. Search ‘secondment policy’ on the intranet for more information.

At Bracknell Forest, we pride ourselves on being a council which is stable and well-managed where our employees can thrive in a supportive environment. We understand the importance of a healthy work-life balance and offer a variety of flexible working practices, including options for remote working and arrangements that allow you to work from home, dependent on the needs of the service.

The role is based at Time Square, Bracknell, with around 5–10 days per month in the office and the remainder working from home. Some travel across partner authorities and occasional travel to London will be required to support programme delivery and sessions.

If you would like an informal chat or a tour of the office prior to submitting your application, please contact helen.gore@bracknell-forest.gov.uk to arrange a suitable time.
