Young Persons Advisor - Leaving Care Team

Overview

Are you passionate about supporting care-experienced young people as they shape their futures?

We’re excited to offer an opportunity to join Harrow’s Leaving Care Team as a Young Person’s Advisor (YPA). This role goes beyond statutory support to genuinely walk alongside young people aged 16-25 as they transition into adulthood.

This post is part of a forward-thinking and ambitious service that is committed to being co-produced with the young people we serve. We are shaping something different - with young people, not just for them.

About You

This is about being part of a service that places care-experienced young people at the heart of everything we do:

• You'll contribute to the co-production of our Local Offer, service improvements, and activities.
• You'll take part in shaping how we deliver services, whether through feedback forums, co-led events, or piloting new approaches.
• You'll help us build a service where young people’s voices genuinely influence decision-making at every level.
• Supporting care leavers with Pathway Planning, housing, education, finances, health, and wellbeing.
• Building relationships rooted in trust, empathy and consistency.
• Working in a trauma-informed and relationship-based way.
• Acting as a key advocate for young people, helping them access opportunities, overcome barriers, and realise their goals.
• Working with families, carers, professionals, and services across the borough and beyond.
• Recording your work clearly and reflectively, capturing the young person’s journey, not just the intervention.
