Why Action for Children?

Every child should have a loving home, food, warmth, the chance to grow and learn - the support to cope with life's challenges. But too many children don't. By bringing your passion and unique skills and experience, you'll help us change that where it really matters.

We've been driven by love to take action for children for over 150 years, giving them the protection and practical help they need. A lot's changed since 1869. But what children really need, hasn't. So as long as children need us, we'll be here.

About the Service

Arosfa Disability Service offers a warm, home-from-home environment for children and young people with disabilities or additional needs, providing both short breaks and long-term residential support.

We celebrate meaningful milestones, from our young people managing their first overnight stays to supporting long-term residents as they move confidently into adult services.

Our team is encouraged to learn, reflect, and grow together, with a strong focus on teamwork and open communication.

Staff are encouraged to bring their outside passions into the home, and some of our staff who enjoy arts and crafts use these skills to enrich activities and help young people discover new interests.

This creates a positive, nurturing environment where everyone can develop and succeed.

Diversity, equality and inclusion

At Action for Children, we're committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels respected, valued, and able to thrive. We know that racism and discrimination create barriers, and we're taking active steps to challenge these inequalities in our organisation and in the communities we serve.

We strongly welcome applications from people who are Black, Asian, or from other racialised and ethnically marginalised communities, as well as disabled people, who are currently under-represented in our workforce. We are committed to removing barriers in our recruitment processes and ensuring fair access to opportunities.

We also encourage applications from men, who are under-represented in our Children's Services roles. We recognise that people hold multiple identities, and we value the richness this brings to our team.
