We are looking for a strong and confident relationship builder to be the new Family Hub Manager that will play a pivotal role in supporting the continued development and successful delivery of the Kingswood Family Hub (Martin’s House).
This is an innovative and community-focused initiative designed to provide a joined-up “cradle-to-career” pipeline of support for children, young people, and families.

• Full, clean driving licence with willingness to obtain business insurance or ability to travel to other sites.
• Proven experience of developing and coordinating community-based programmes or services, ideally within a multi-agency environment.
• Flexible and adaptable, able to respond positively to a developing and changing organisational environment.
• Proactive and self-motivated, with the ability to take initiative while working as part of a collaborative team.
Applicants are advised to refer to the full requirements of the role in the attached job description and person specification, prior to submitting an application.
What is a Family Hub?
The government’s Family Hubs and Start for Life programme aims to “join up and enhance services delivered through transformed family hubs in local authority areas, ensuring all parents and carers can access the support they need when they need it”. As recommended in the government’s ‘The best start for life’ report, the focus of Family Hubs is on parents of 0-2 year-olds (or the first 1001 days, which includes pregnancy). However, Family Hubs are also intended to support families of children/young people up to age 19 (and 25 with special educational needs or a disability). Family Hubs are intended to be ‘one-stop shops’ for a range of face-to-face support and information. Services provided by a Family Hub could include support for home learning; parenting classes; midwifery; health visiting; infant feeding advice; or perinatal mental health support. Meanwhile Family Hubs are also intended to help families access other support services (not directly provided through the Hub), such as support for people’s physical and mental health; housing and debt advice; youth services; domestic abuse support; and other services run by charities
What services are based at Kingswood’s Family Hub?
Currently, we have partnerships with local services including Cabot Learning Federation, Kingswood Town Council, Sirona Care & Health, Creative Youth Network, OTR (Off the Record), Compass, South Gloucestershire Care Leavers, the local mental health support team and school nurses.

King’s Oak Academy is an 1170 place (Reception – Y11) mixed gender academy situated in Kingswood, South Gloucestershire. The Academy draws its intake primarily from the local Kingswood community. Typically, the prior attainment (KS2 points score) of students on entry to King’s Oak Academy in Year 7 is below the national average. In 2020, the proportion of students who have SEN and/or disabilities is above the national average whilst the proportion of students supported by the pupil premium grant is in line with the national average.
King’s Oak benefits from a large and well situated site within easy commuting distance of the cities of Bristol and Bath. The academy has become increasingly popular with parents and the community, with rising numbers in Year 7 for September 2020. Both sites are located on the same campus. We are lucky enough to have a great deal of open space and our staff and pupils enjoy the flexibility to work with students across both facilities.
Since 2011 King’s Oak Academy has been part of the Cabot Learning Federation (CLF). The CLF is a collaborative multi-academy trust, whose mission is ‘to consistently deliver excellent educational experiences for pupils aged 3-19, improving their life chances and serving our communities’. After the commissioning of a two-form entry primary phase through South Gloucestershire local authority, King’s Oak Academy changed its status from a secondary academy to an all-through academy in September 2015. This was marked by the completion of our Primary phase building called the Acorn, an open plan building designed to house 420 lower phase pupils. Since 2015, King’s Oak Academy has continued to develop its long-standing secondary provision whilst building up the primary phase each year with a cohort of 60 pupils joining the Academy in Reception each year. By September 2021 the Academy will reach both its centenary year and full all-through status.
The staff team at King’s Oak consists of newly appointed and highly experienced leaders, teachers and support staff. All are driven to deliver exceptional experiences, educational outcomes for young people and the KOA values ‘Work Hard, Be Kind’. Staff take collective responsibility to ensure that during each pupil's time at King’s Oak they develop ambition, passion, a sense of justice, a desire to serve the communities in which they live, an understanding of how to promote safety in themselves and others and a love of learning and development that will be with them all of their lives.
King’s Oak was last inspected in March 2018 and was judged to be ‘Good’. The inspection letter can be seen here. This role offers the opportunity for the successful candidate to build on firm foundations and to use their exceptional skills to enthuse and inspire others in order to allow the academy to make a significant difference by improving the life chances of all pupils that attend the school.
