JOIN THE LONDON BOROUGH OF HACKNEY IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE TO CHILDREN AND FAMILIES!

– Do you believe we can do better for children and young people?
– Are you an experienced professional with a passion for improving the lives of children and young people?
This isn’t just another job. Its a mission, to build a better, brighter, more connected future working for every child in Hackney.
The Children’s Integrated Commissioning Service are the architects of a system that supports our children to thrive. We don’t just manage contracts; we design the entire network of services for children and families. We bring together health, education, social care and VCS partners to work as one, ensuring every child gets the right help, at the right time, in the right way.
We’re looking for passionate, creative, and determined people to join our team and in this role you will:
– Be a catalyst for change: You won’t just follow the path; you’ll help create it.
– Connect the dots: You’ll work across different organisations, breaking down barriers and building powerful collaborations.
– Use your voice for good: You’ll champion the needs of children and families, ensuring their experiences are at the heart of every decision.

WE UNDERSTAND THE BENEFITS OF USING AI IN THE WORKPLACE. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE THINKING OF USING THIS TOOL TO SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION, WE ASK YOU TO THINK ABOUT WHAT VALUE IT WILL ADD. AI TOOLS TEND TO LACK THE PERSONAL TOUCH AND AUTHENTICITY WE VALUE IN CANDIDATES. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO SHOWCASE YOUR UNIQUE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS USING YOUR OWN VOICE.

Closing date for applications: 10 August 2025 (22.59)
Interview and assessment date: W/c 18 August 2025
We are also working towards our vision, which is to be a place for everyone; where residents and staff can be proud; a place that celebrates diversity and where everyone can feel valued, included and involved. In order to achieve this, we look for people who are: Proud; Ambitious; Pioneering; Open; Proactive; Inclusive.
Hackney Council works to eradicate discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. We also recognise that people can be disadvantaged by their social and economic circumstances, so we will also work to eliminate discrimination and disadvantage caused by social class. We also welcome those interested in flexible working. We particularly welcome applications from disabled people, as this group is currently under represented in our workforce.
The Council has a dedicated employment support service (Hackney Works), which offers Hackney residents guidance in relation to applying for jobs. If you are thinking about applying for a job, please contact the Hackney Works team to find out what support is available: hackneyworks@hackney.gov.uk
