Opportunities in Broxbourne, Welwyn Hatfield and Dacorum.
Our vision for young people is clear. We want young people to succeed, and by working for us you’ll be key to enable this to happen.
We work with vulnerable young people to address emerging needs, improve life chances, and reduce escalation to more expensive and intensive services. This includes supporting those challenged in education, their community or home life, to ensure a successful transition to adulthood. The young people are typically 11-17 and up to 25 for Care Leavers and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
About The Roles
You’ll be delivering important targeted work, working with vulnerable young people. This will involve leading on group work projects with support from Youth Support Workers and delivering one to one support. By delivering this work, you can make a real difference to young people’s lives.
You would be giving young people support at an early stage, preventing their issues from seriously affecting their daily life, health, development, or safety.
We are looking for candidates who can quickly establish positive relationships with diverse groups of young people and respond flexibly to their needs and the priorities of the service.
