About the employer
Happy Heaven is a registered charity to a charitable company by guarantee and an umbrella organisation which sets the National Standards to which Child Contact Centres must work. Child Contact Centres are neutral places where children of separated families can enjoy contact with non-resident parents and sometimes other family members, in a comfortable and safe environment. Every year, this national organisation via its member centres support families and children in their local community. Our centre is only suitable for families that are deemed to present minimal risk of violence or abuse. In some cases, a higher level of supervision is needed because a child or parent is at risk of harm. As a supervised contact centre, we can reintroduce a child to a parent where there has been a substantial gap in contact.
We are based at 4-6 Bury Old Road, Whitefield, Manchester, M45 6TF
