Hours will be available as/when the service identifies need for sessional staff and we can accommodate flexibility to suit sessional workers at times when they are available (e.g., morning/afternoon/evening).

  • A relevant professional qualification e.
g. Youth & Community, Education or NVQ 3 Health & Social Care Or HNC in Social Care or Early Years 3 NVQ3 Health & Social Care.

  • Knowledge and understanding of a range of evidence based interventions and creative ways of working with children and young people
  • An ability to develop and maintain positive and constructive relationships with children and young people
The Children's Society is committed to safeguarding and protecting the children and young people that we work with.
