Connections Support Worker

Cancer Fund for Children's mission is to ensure that no child or young person across the island of Ireland have to face cancer alone. The charity has over 30 years' experience delivering support and services to children, teenagers and young adults living with cancer and their families.

Our aim is to connect, empower and strengthen children and young people and their families so they are better equipped to deal with the impact of cancer. We do this by providing emotional and social support in the family home, in communities across Ireland, on the hospital ward and at our therapeutic short break centre.

This role involves providing families with skilled, compassionate, and flexible support via telephone or other remote means, both at the initial point of contact and throughout their engagement with us. Families will be guided to the appropriate support, receiving accurate information and being connected to relevant internal services, or signposted to external support where necessary.
