You believe every young person deserves to feel heard, understood and supported. You know behaviour is communication, and sometimes one conversation can change everything. You bring empathy, warmth and a steady hand, staying solution focused even when things are tough. You’re driven by a commitment to doing the right thing, and you lead with the kind of compassion that helps young people feel safe and ready to move forward.

You’ll need:

• A qualification in mental health or working with children and young people (e.g. Youth Work, Psychology, Counselling)

• At least 1 year’s relevant post qualification experience

• Experience supporting children, young people and vulnerable groups

• Knowledge of safeguarding, confidentiality, consent and Gillick competency

• Understanding of emotional wellbeing, risk taking behaviours and psychosocial interventions

• Strong communication skills to engage with young people, families and professionals

• Confidence working independently and managing a caseload

• IT and organisational skills, including case management systems

• Ability to analyse need and shape practical, tailored support

• A flexible, solution focused approach and strong commitment to safeguarding

You’ll need to travel in the surrounding area and hold a full UK driving licence with access to a vehicle.

Experience in advocacy, co production, evidence based practice or supervision will help you thrive but these aren’t dealbreakers.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to talk.
