Key responsibilities include:
Providing structured support to young people leaving care, including help with accommodation, employment, education, life skills, and emotional wellbeing.
Undertaking assessments and developing personalised pathway plans.
Responding to crises and working creatively to resolve complex issues.
Recording your work accurately and contributing to the team's performance and statutory obligations.
Who we’re looking for:
Experience working with vulnerable young people, ideally within a leaving care, youth work, or social care setting.
An understanding of the issues facing care leavers, and a commitment to improving outcomes.
The ability to work independently, while also contributing to a wider team approach.
