The Fellowship is a network and community, of almost 1,500 fellows (growing to 4,000 by 2025) that have completed the Frontline, Firstline or CSW programmes. The Fellowship exists to support fellows to improve their practice, empower them to seek out projects to improve social work practice, and help them explore their potential and to support them to implement their innovative ideas. All to ensure a positive impact for vulnerable children and families. Using the principles of community organising, our goal is to create a community, and space where fellows do not feel an individual responsibility, but instead a part of a movement with the power to make real change. To achieve this the Fellowship Officers must have a strong understanding of both the theory and application of community organising. 

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing, energetic team whose work has a direct impact on a growing movement of professionals working to transform the lives of vulnerable children and families. The Frontline Fellowship launched in October 2016 and since then we have worked hard to build a strong and active community with fellows directing, organising and leading the movement. We have achieved much in this time, and the momentum within the Fellowship has steadily increased, and we now need to capitalise on this success and maximise impact.

This role, offers a high level of autonomy, creativity and relationship management. There is a culture of trust within the team and organisation and the role requires someone who can work independently (with support), is well organised, pro-active and uses their initiative to do what works. The officer will need demonstrable experience in working effectively within a diverse community and have a confident and adaptable communication style.
