Calling all Youth Support Workers

Are you seeking a challenge? Do you want to develop your career or simply want a role that makes a difference to children, young people and families? Then join our high performing team and help us to deliver quality services. You will bring skills and experience, energy to work creatively, learn and most of all, a positive attitude!

Through the Integrated Prevention and Earliest Help (IPEH) System, we work with children, families, and young people to help ensure that every child, family and young person is supported to achieve his or her potential. The foundations for future mental health, emotional wellbeing, intelligence and parenting ability are all set in place in the early years and the home surroundings, family life and parenting are all important factors in determining positive outcomes for children in the future.

This is a permanent opportunity for a part time Youth Support Worker for up to 22.5 hours per week. The essential qualification for this post is NVQ level 2 in Youth Work.

We are looking for a professional, with experience of working in both a group work environment and on a one-to-one basis, supporting opportunities for Voice & Participation. Based in the Voice & Participation Team, there may be other opportunities for work as needed, making this an interesting and diverse role.

You must be able to use your initiative to forge positive relationships with diverse groups, responding flexibly to the needs of young people and other groups, plus professionals in the local community. We are designing models for wider family voice across the ages, and welcome your innovation as part of this!

The nature of this post will include working some evenings, weekends and residential programmes as required.

As the post is countywide, a full driving license is an advantage but not essential.
