An exciting opportunity has arisen at the NSPCC (Camden) - Alexandra Ciardi House in London for an enthusiastic and dynamic social worker to join the team.
The NSPCC delivers services within The Lighthouse in Camden, the UK's first Child House. This multi-disciplinary innovative service provides physical and emotional health assessment, criminal justice and advocacy support and a range of therapeutic interventions to children and young people, following the disclosure of sexual abuse.
Within The Lighthouse, NSPCC deliver our Letting the Future In (LTFI) service that includes:
- An Assessment of Therapeutic Need
- Intervention to the child or young person who has been sexually abused, where appropriate
- Work with parents/carers to support children through their interventions
- Bespoke interventions with siblings who impacted by their sister/brother's abuse.
This whole family approach reflects the impact that child sexual abuse can have within a family.
The role also involves some work in partnership with our co-located harmful sexual behaviour team with whom we are piloting an innovative service. You will join at a critical time to contribute to our sibling sexual harm and abuse service, Stepping Stones, which is unique in providing a whole family approach to sibling sexual harm. We work with children who have caused harm, those who have been harmed, non-involved siblings and their parents/carers.
We are looking for:
A practitioner with the ability to plan and deliver appropriate programmes of work with individuals, families and groups, the ability to identify risk and experience of child protection intervention as well as up to date knowledge of legislation, research and best practice; and the ability to evaluate the effectiveness of their own practice?
This is an exciting time for the NSPCC, with staff at all levels engaging in a range of new projects and developments. You will have a manageable caseload and excellent training and development opportunities.
Would you like to contribute to service development not only in terms of direct work but also be able to get involved in evaluation, influencing and dissemination of learning and have the opportunity to be part of an exciting new strategy to help end cruelty to children?
For an informal discussion please contact Valerie Charles, Partnerships Service Manager, valerie.charles@nspcc.org.uk or Jenna De Freitas, Acting Team Manager, jenna.DeFreitas@NSPCC.org.uk.

We have a number of employees at the NSPCC who are regrettably at risk of redundancy, following a significant restructure. In keeping with our values and our policies, if any of these individuals apply for a role and meet the minimum essential criteria, they will be given priority consideration. We hope that you understand our position on this and that this will not discourage you from applying. We cannot predict who, internally, will apply for a role, or whether they will meet the minimum essential criteria. Where no at risk candidates meet the minimum essential criteria, all applications will be considered as normal.

Safer Recruitment
As an organisation, we are committed to creating and fostering a culture that promotes safeguarding and the welfare of all children and adults at risk. Our safer recruitment practices support this by ensuring that there is a consistent and thorough process of obtaining, collating, analysing and evaluating information from and about candidates to ensure that all persons appointed are suitable to work with our children and adults.
Trauma Informed
At the NSPCC we are on a journey to becoming a trauma-informed organisation for the children, young people and families that we work with, as well as our staff and volunteers. To be trauma-informed is one of the guiding principles that shape and guide our 2021-2031 Strategy. This means understanding the nature of adversity, trauma, and resilience so that we can work towards reducing and preventing further harm and promoting recovery and healing. Coming to work at the NSPCC will provide the opportunity for you to join us in our commitment to becoming a trauma-informed organisation.
