Specialist Carer Band 3 (Grade 6 Equiv.)

This role may be perfect for you if you are currently, or have been, a Healthcare Assistant, and are looking for a part-time role (minimum contract 22.5 hours). At Noah’s Ark you’ll have opportunity to build on your experience and be trained to a more specialist level.

ABOUT NOAH’S ARK CHILDREN’S HOSPICE

We exist to help babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, and their families, make the most of every day. Our mission is to enable those we support to enjoy life as children, not patients; as families, not just as carers.

Because everyone deserves to live life as themselves, beyond their condition or circumstances. We do this by listening to families. We know one size doesn’t fit all, so we cater our services to each individual person we support. We can do this from the point of diagnosis.

Our help is available wherever it is needed. Our expert staff and trained volunteers can provide support in a families home, in the community, or at our state-of-the-art building, The Ark, in Barnet.

We work in collaboration with key NHS Trusts and other care providers to deliver the very best support to children and families. We have created a space where children with complex needs are accepted as they are, safe to play, explore, express themselves and build confidence.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re expanding our team and are looking for more Specialist Carers to join our charity. You’ll be joining an award-winning, certified Outstanding team, who do all they can to empower children and families to experience as much life as possible.

As a Specialist Carer, you’ll provide life-changing care for babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions. You’ll do this by working in collaboration with their family, multidisciplinary teams, and your other Noah’s Ark colleagues.

You’ll be encouraged to put the experience of children and families at the heart of all you do. As well as understanding their clinical needs, you’ll get to know what’s important to each child you support. Whether it’s knowing what their favourite song to listen to is, how they like to play, or what sooths them when they are sad – at Noah’s Ark it’s so important that each child is treated as an individual. You’ll focus on what children can do, rather than their limitations, and will support them to experience things they may never have thought possible.

And by providing care for children, either at our state-of-the art building, The Ark, or out in the community, you’ll be allowing parents and cares to take some time for themselves. The hours of care you’ll provide will make a huge difference, allowing them to live life outside of their child’s condition. By creating this time, you’ll be creating choice – something which can feel impossible for the families we support

Your commitment to children and families will continue through to end-of-life care. You’ll be a guiding reassuring presence for families and working with other healthcare professionals to create as much comfort as possible.

ABOUT YOU

You’ll have experience working with babies, children, and young people in a health, education or social setting. You’ll understand the power of play and will enjoy creating experiences and activities for those you are caring for.

Aside from experience, we look for individuals who share our core values of kindness, excellence and courage. We’ll support you to go above and beyond to be there for the children and families we support – we ask that you share this mission with us.

You’ll thrive working autonomously, confident in your ability to deliver care on your own out in the community. You’ll know the value of collaboration, and will work closely with your team members, other healthcare professionals and the families you support to provide the very best care.

Creativity and play will be central to your approach to care, with the ability to build long-term relationships with the children and families you care for.

You will be available to work a variety of shits, including days, evenings, nights and weekends. You will have a full UK driving license and access to your own car. You will be paid for travel time, reimbursed for car parking and will have a generous mileage allowance.

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

We are a Disability Confident Employer. Part of our commitment is to interview all applications with a disability who meet the minimum criteria for this role, and consider them based on their abilities.

Our Diversity Council is working hard to construct positive changes within our charity and we particularly welcome applications from groups who are currently under-represented in our staff.

Job title Leukaemia Care Navigator

Hours 7.5 Hours a week on Tuesday

Remuneration 24,000 per annum pro rata (up to £28,325 depending on experience)

Type of contract: Permanent

Location Great Western Hospital, Marlborough Road, Swindon, SN3 6BB,

Report to Navigator Programme Manager

Work closely with: Anyone affected by leukaemia, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). This includes patients, carers and family members. Liaising with hospital staff, nurses, other support charities, care workers and staff at Leukaemia Care.

You will refer patients, carers and family members internally to advocacy, welfare, support groups and other services as appropriate.

WHO WE ARE, AND WHAT WE DO

Leukaemia Care is the UK’s leading leukaemia charity. For over 50 years, we have been dedicated to ensuring that everyone affected receives the best possible diagnosis, information, advice, treatment and support.

We are here for everyone affected by leukaemia and related blood cancer types – such as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN).

We provide information, advice and support for anyone affected, this includes patients and their friends and families too. We raise awareness of the issues impacting people affected by leukaemia, MDS and MPN, and campaign to fix them. We are driving early diagnosis, raising public awareness, improving services and ensuring access to effective treatments.

How do we do this? We have a wide-range of services aimed at patients and their loved ones from diagnosis and beyond. Our support services range from nurse-led helplines, support groups and free-of-charge medical information to access to paid counselling, grants for those feeling the financial strain of a diagnosis and providing buddies so people always have somebody to talk to who have experienced something similar to them. We encourage you to have a read of our website and find out all the ways we support from diagnosis and beyond.

Crucial to our work is raising awareness of leukaemia as a blood cancer and the importance for early diagnosis. Leukaemia can be difficult to spot as the symptoms are similar to many other common conditions. Unfortunately, most people are not aware of the signs of leukaemia and this leads to diagnosis being delayed, which can worsen outcomes for patients.

As well as working to educate the general public through our #SpotLeukaemia campaign, we are working closely with our colleagues working in front line medical services to ensure they have the most up-to-date information on diagnosing leukaemia. We know that by raising awareness and working to educate health care professionals, we can save lives and improve outcomes.

dignity  worth  celebrating,  talents  worth  discovering  and  a  life  to  live  to  its  fullest
potential, no matter their past experiences nor present circumstances.
We  are  committed  to  providing  an  inspiring  environment  that  raises  hope  and
strengthens resilience.

Our Values

Treating everyone with dignity in all circumstances.

Integrity
Unexaggerated

with

humility,

purity of motive

and

Passion
Embracing  risk  for  the  sake of the  mission,  with  courage  to  take  bold  risks  and  to
innovate despite adversity.

Grace
Costly  additional  opportunity  for  everyone, to  enable  us  to  be  our  best  by  being
perpetual learners.

Compassion
Serving sacrificially, rooted in an unwavering zeal to seek the best for those we serve

Our Impact, Outcomes and Goals

We  are  passionate  about  seeing  the  young  people  we  serve  become  positive  and
empowered individuals, building on their resilience and strengths to contribute to the
world around them.

Outcomes

We deliver this impact through our therapeutic support for all areas of life, specifically
aimed  at  achieving  the  following  outcomes  -  Increased  Personal  Safety,  Increased
engagement  with  Education,  Employment  and  Training,  Improved  Emotional
Wellbeing, Improved Physical Wellbeing and Increased Social engagement.

Enhance Baca’s service to maximise the potential of each young person.

Engage  locally,  regionally  and  nationally  to  see  a  world  where  child  refugees  are
welcomed, safe and have hope to rebuild their lives for a better future.

Thank you very much for your interest in this role at Baca. We support young people
who  have  been  forced  to  flee  their  home  country,  because  of  war,  persecution,  or
trafficking. We provide the support they need which includes a safe home, education
and therapeutic care. The young people we serve have lost the only life they know
and have overcome all the odds to reach safety. Their courage inspires us but without
support they are at extreme risk of harm and exploitation.

We  are  committed  to  providing  an  inspiring  environment  that  raises  hope  and
strengthens  resilience  –  enabling  them  to  fulfil  their  potential  and  become  thriving
members of the community. We consider it an absolute privilege to be able to walk
with them on a daily basis. We take heart from the several positive stories of young
people’s  transition  into  adulthood,  establishing  their  lives  and  being  a  positive
contribution  to  the  world  around  them.  However,  we  recognise  the  huge  pressures
they continue to face and therefore, we believe there is still a long way to go as we
continue to learn from them. We believe there are greater depths of development for
each  young  person  to  achieve  so  that  they do  not  fall  back  into exploitation  or any
other dangerous environment.

If  successful,  you  will  be  joining  a  passionate  and  committed  team,  with  strong
expertise. You will find that the team are committed to our values, which has built a
culture that seeks to allow everyone to be their best in order to give their best for the
sake of the young people we serve.  I hope you will find all the information you need
in this pack or on www.bacacharity.org.uk to help you complete your application.

We wish you all the best,
Jimmy Zachariah, CEO

Job Description
Head of Early Years (HEYFS)

Required: January / Easter 2026
Reporting to: Head of Junior School
Hours: Full Time
Closing date: Tuesday 4th November, 12:00 noon
Interview date: Wednesday 12th November

The Role

This is an exciting opportunity for an inspiring and experienced Early Years leader to shape the very first stage of our
pupils’ educational journey. As Head of Early Years (HEYFS), you will lead a dynamic, creative and nurturing team at
Little King’s, ensuring that every child experiences a joyful, ambitious and carefully tailored start to school life. With
the autonomy to innovate across the Early Years curriculum and a close connection to the wider school community,
this  role  offers  the  chance  to make  a  profound  and  lasting  impact  on  children’s  learning,  development  and  love  of
discovery.

The Head of Early Years at King's is a key leadership role within the Junior School Leadership Team (JSLT), responsible
for the strategic, academic, and pastoral oversight of Little King's, and plays a critical role in pupil recruitment. This
role reflects the latest UK EYFS Framework, emphasising inclusive, high-quality early education and smooth transitions
into Reception and Year 1.

The School

The King’s School is one of the dozen oldest schools in the country and has a proud heritage dating back to at least
1087, with a re-foundation in 1541. King’s is the Cathedral School in the city of Gloucester, whilst the surrounding
county is home to many excellent grammar and state schools, as well as other independent schools. King’s is held in
high regard amidst this competitive area; our academic, co-curricular and pastoral attainment is second to none. As a
result, the last three ISI reports for King’s have all been classified as ‘excellent’ in every area. Local media brand SoGlos
has awarded King’s the title of ‘Independent School of the Year’ or ‘Highly Commended’ in every one of the last six
years – a feat unmatched by any other local independent school – most recently winning the title in May 2025. Despite
the  multiple  national-scale  challenges  of  recent  years,  King’s  has  seen  its  pupil  roll  growing  steadily  and  parental
satisfaction scoring very highly indeed. With careful investment in the campus and facilities, as well as a continuous
focus on improving teaching and learning and developing our outstanding pastoral care, King’s is now seen as a dynamic,
forward-thinking and impressive place to study and to work.

The Department

Little King’s is a vibrant, warm, and purposeful Early Years setting nestled within The King’s School, Gloucester. From
ages three to five, the department is driven by a philosophy that learning should be joyful, stimulating and rooted in
strong, supportive relationships. Staff at Little King’s offer an individualised curriculum, responsive to children’s needs
and interests, where early learning goals are enriched by outdoor opportunities – Forest School, trips to places like
Crickley Hill and the Forest of Dean, and use of the School’s own secret garden and pond.

Parents are partners in the journey: through excellent home-school links, access to online learning journals, and regular,
honest communication, the child’s development is shared and celebrated together. The environment itself feels part
of something bigger – Little King’s is physically within the Junior School, fostering a strong sense of belonging to the
wider King’s community and aiding smooth transitions as children grow.

In Little King’s you’ll find a team of experienced, caring professionals who value resilience, confidence, independence
and  academic,  emotional,  and  social  growth  equally.  The  culture  is  one  of  high  expectations,  mutual  support,  and
creative freedom. If you’re seeking a department you can lead with vision, collaborate with passionate colleagues, and
help lay foundations for lifelong learning, Little King’s offers just that.
