Your new company

Our parenting housing assessment service provides a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for families undergoing parenting assessments. We work in close partnership with mothers and their children to ensure that each family receives a fair, compassionate, and evidence-based assessment.

The safety and welfare of the child are always paramount. While we support parents throughout the assessment process, our primary focus remains on the child’s wellbeing and long-term care planning.

  • Observing and recording parent-child interactions in line with assessment frameworks
  • Promoting a nurturing and structured environment that prioritises child safety
  • Working collaboratively with social workers, health professionals, and other agencies
  • Contributing to assessment planning through accurate, objective record-keeping

What you'll need to succeed

  • Compassionate, non-judgemental, and emotionally resilient
  • Experienced in working with vulnerable families, children, or within safeguarding settings
  • Able to maintain professional boundaries and work within a regulated framework
  • A strong communicator with excellent observational and report-writing skills
  • Flexible and reliable, with the ability to work shifts including evenings, weekends, and sleep-ins

What you'll get in return

  • Support of a dedicated Hays consultant
  • Free training and development
  • Onsite training by the site manager
  • Pension contributions of up to 3%
  • CV writing
  • Refer a Friend Scheme
