The Children's Society has been helping children and young people in this country for over 140 years. We run local services that support children when they are at their most vulnerable and in desperate need of help. We're there for children, every step of the way.
Are you passionate about supporting young people to thrive? We are currently looking for an experienced young carers practitioner to join our dynamic, ambitious team.
This role sits within our Islington & Camden Young Carers Service (ICYC), which works to provide holistic support, including one-to-one, whole-family and group workshops, for children negatively impacted by their caring role. Your role will be to contribute to the overall provision of services for young carers in Camden & Islington, providing child-centred assessments, plans and interventions to support young carers to thrive, and reduce the impact of caring responsibilities. You will also support to deliver training and awareness raising sessions to relevant professionals and provide specialist help where necessary.
In order to be successful in this role, you must have:
-Knowledge and awareness of national and local initiatives to support young carers and their families, and good understanding of young carers support needs.
-The ability to build and maintain relationships with both young people, communities and partners and to work in a culturally sensitive, therapeutic and holistic way, recognising and responding to children's individual needs.
-The ability to act creatively, think systemically and respond to new and challenging situations.
-Competencies in undertaking assessments and plans within scope of practice.
-Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including telephone skills.
Due to the fast paced environment and use of computers for clinical record keeping, you will need to have a good level of IT skills
The Children's Society runs over 100 local services that help thousands of young people who desperately need our support, and we campaign to get laws and policies changed to make children's lives happier and safer.
Every day we're changing the lives of children in this country for the better - and with your help, tomorrow we can be there for even more.
The Children's Society is committed to safeguarding and protecting the children and young people that we work with. As such, all posts are subject to a safer recruitment process, including the disclosure of criminal records and vetting checks. We ensure that we have a range of policies and procedures in place which promote safeguarding and safer working practices across our services.
Therefore, candidates applying for work in our CYP Directorate will be required to complete an “Employment history_template” document prior to interview. The fully completed document should be loaded by the candidate at the point of uploading your CV.
The closing date for applications is midnight on Wednesday 18th September 2024. If, after 14 days, we have received enough applications we reserve the right to close the vacancy on Wednesday 4th September.
Interviews will be held week commencing 16th September.
