Head of Strategic Children's Centre
PO12, 54,498 - 57,336 (Incl. L/W)

At the Learning Trust, we know just how exciting Hackney's future looks. A future that's largely going to be determined by today's younger generation - the very people we're working so hard to help and develop

Linden Children's Centre has grown from the combination of an existing Sure Start local programme and an early years nursery. We are registered to provide 89 childcare places including creche and playgroup facilities. We provide quality health care and education to all families particularly focusing on vulnerable and low income families.

We are seeking a dynamic, innovative, forward-thinking individual with effective leadership skills, to lead a multi agency team consisting of nursery education officers, teachers, midwives, public health coordinators, family support workers, social workers, psychologists, etc. You will ensure that Hackney's Children's Centre core offer is planned and coordinated across the Children's Centre cluster in collaboration with key stakeholders to ensure high quality integrated services for young children and their families.
