Introduction

Dear Applicant,

Thank you for your interest in joining the Glastonbury Abbey team. Glastonbury
Abbey holds a unique place in English history and cultural identity. Its fame was
built upon its rich tradition of legends, linking Glastonbury with the biblical figure of
Joseph of Arimathea, and chivalric figures such as King Arthur and Queen
Guinevere. Glastonbury’s reputation as the earliest Christian church in western
Europe attracted spiritual pilgrims, royal patrons and tremendous wealth.

Glastonbury Abbey is located in the heart of Glastonbury, Somerset, a diverse and
vibrant town renowned throughout the world as a place of pilgrimage. The abbey is
governed by a board of trustees and is led by a director and senior leadership team
that deliver the strategic objectives in line with its charitable objects. It welcomes
visitors from all over the world while also maintaining strong links with its local
community via a membership scheme and a programme of special events.

Glastonbury Abbey offers visitors a heritage site with nationally significant
archaeological ruins, a 14th century medieval kitchen, 36 acres of beautiful grounds
as well as a museum, cafés and a shop. It is a site of pilgrimage for people of all
faiths and backgrounds and hosts more than 170,000 visitors per year attracted by
reasons as diverse as spirituality, myth, legend, exercise, reflection, history and the
environment.

This is an exciting period in the life of the abbey. The Abbey Yard development,
providing new visitor welcome spaces, gift shop and café, was completed in
2025, and we welcomed 179,000 visitors that year. Future plans include, among
other things, improved heritage interpretation and an ambitious programme of
conservation.

We are seeking a motivated individual who will provide dynamic leadership and
who can inspire the abbey team, our partners and local stakeholders. You will
be a recognised leader in the museums and heritage sector, with experience of
managing a scheduled historic site, ensuring financial resilience, and working
collaboratively to deliver a strategic plan. You will have expertise in building trust
and confidence, and working with a range of strategic partnerships, including other
heritage organisations, higher education, tourism, local government and funding
bodies.

Family Group Conference Coordinator - Trained, Self-Employed

Are you a trained Family Group Conference Coordinator?

Do you want to use your skills to support families, ensuring every member has a voice in decision-making?

Are you looking for a flexible role where your commitment is valued, and you can see the impact you create?

At Daybreak, a registered charity, we are looking for Independent Coordinators to join our team.

We work with a team of self-employed Coordinators across the South of England and are actively seeking trained and experienced Coordinators to help us expand the use of Family Group Conferences (FGCs) and other forms of Family Group Decision Making (FGDM). Our goal is to empower more families to respond to their challenges and create safer, stronger futures.

We welcome compassionate and committed Coordinators who can support families in demonstrating how they can keep each other safe. While FGCs are primarily used in children’s social services, we are working to extend their reach into a broader range of settings or situations. Now is a great time to bring your skills and experience to our growing team.

As a Coordinator, you will work alongside families facing a wide range of challenges, including mental health, substance abuse, domestic violence, criminal justice and other Adverse Childhood Experience risk factors. Whatever your background, if you have the skills and training to support families in finding a way forward, we’d love to hear from you.

Our services currently operate in Portsmouth, Reading, Bromley, Hackney, and Wiltshire, so we are prioritising applications in these areas. However, we also welcome interest from Coordinators across the South of England to help us reach more families and communities.

• Full Family Group Conference Coordinator Training

• Experience in social care or a similar role that involves problem-solving in sensitive situations

• Commitment to delivering high-quality work that supports families in moving forward

• Strong facilitation skills, bringing people together and ensuring every voice is heard

• Openness and honesty in all interactions

• If you find satisfaction in creating safe spaces for families to address challenges, this role is for you.

    Family Support Manager (Tees Valley)

    SAFE FAMILIES FOR CHILDREN

    26,280 - 32,065 per year (pro rata)

    Darlington

    Part-time

    5th February 2026

    The Family Support Manager is a key staff role which involves working with families and facilitating support from volunteers recruited from the local church and community.

    You would work as part of the North West team which includes Lancashire, Sefton, Knowsley & St Helens, and you will need to be able to travel and work predominantly across Lancashire. You would be involved from initial referral from school or Local Authority, through to official completion of Safe Families’ support, including risk assessment of a family situation, identifying goals, matching and introducing volunteers, providing on-going mentoring and support to volunteers and assessing when outcomes have been achieved. Your objective is to help support families navigate challenging circumstances through connecting them into local volunteer based, sustainable support.

    The role requires experience of working with children, families or other vulnerable groups, and knowledge and application of safeguarding principles and processes. It is an incredibly exciting role where you would have the privilege of seeing how the simplest of actions, often from dedicated volunteers, really can bring hope and transformation to families and care leavers.
