These are challenging but exciting times for the voluntary sector, yet we know that in this climate children are at greater risk of abuse. We’re here to end cruelty to children in the UK. It’s an aspiration which will take time but nothing less will do. We believe that we can make a difference for all children -by fighting for their rights, by listening to them, by helping them when they need us and by making them safe.

We are looking for an outstanding and inspirational individual with a successful track record in delivering the best outcomes for children to join our Executive Board, reporting to our CEO, in achieving this ambitious vision.

ChildLine - The UK's free, 24-hour helpline for children in distress or danger ChildLine's telephone, online and automated text services provide children and young people with advice and support
The schools service – We are creating a new schools service targeted at all primary schools. The service will, eventually, help every child in the UK know how to protect themselves and where to go for help when they need it.
Children and Young People’s Participation – We are committed in involving children and young people in the planning and review of what we do across the society

The Director of ChildLine Services has a crucial role in ensuring that the UK wide service we currently deliver, and the new schools service we are developing, give every child in the UK the opportunity to access advice and support when they need it most.

The ability to manage transition and motivate others through change processes is key in this role. A focus on achieving service standards and delivering outcomes which meet the needs of children, the organisation and other external partners in critical.

The Services for Children and Families Division provides exciting and challenging opportunities for all staff who work within it. We are currently refocusing our services around priorities themes that have been established to increase focus and our newly shaped services will be innovative, pioneering and evidence based.

The Director of Services for Children and Families is critical to the success both of the transition from the current structure and way of working and to a newly focussed and revitalised division. The Director also has a key role to play in working closely with our other divisions and services to ensure we integrate and co-ordinate all our activities.
