This post is exempt under Sch 9 Pt 1 of the Equality Act 2010 and is only open to female applicants.
Are you passionate about supporting children and families to thrive? Join NCHA as a Children’s Worker in Derbyshire, delivering high-quality childcare and family support services within our WISH domestic abuse support project.
This is a rewarding, community-based role where you will support children aged 0–16, who have experienced or been impacted by domestic abuse, helping them feel safe, valued, and empowered. If you enjoy variety, meaningful work, and making a real difference every day, this could be the perfect opportunity.

* Develop and review individual support plans, tailored to each child’s needs
* Work collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary team to deliver a high-quality service
* Maintain accurate records in line with safeguarding and compliance standards
* Carry out risk assessments and contribute to safeguarding processes, including attending meetings where required
* Ensure a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment for all families
This is a community-based childcare role, so a full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle (with business insurance) is essential.
