4 weeks ago

Yorkshire and Humberside, United Kingdom The Children's Society Full time

Fixed term contract until March 2024

15 hours per week

£23,855.76 per annum / pro rata £9,671.25

Based in Leeds (covering Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Calderdale and Kirklees)

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.

This role sits within our children and families directorate, which works to provide immediate one-to-one and group support for children who urgently need support. Your role will be to help us maintain and develop innovative practice to support our work in our services around the country.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate youth and participation worker to join our growing and ambitious team.

The HEARTS service is an established programme delivering advice and advocacy to asylum seeking and refugee young people. This role is to support young people to engage in local and national participation work, alongside supporting the delivery of the youth provision service. This is to ensure that young refugees gain the relevant skills to settle safely and independently within their new communities.

A key part of the role will be to work closely with the advocacy worker to ensure that young refugees and new arrivals receive appropriate support and access to services that meet their varying and diverse needs, to enable them to integrate safely and confidently within their new communities.

The role will require the continued work and development of the project by working closely with internal and external colleagues, supporting outreach, volunteer recruitment and development and raising awareness of the issues associated with young refugees and new arrivals, including producing materials, attending training days and practice seminars.

The youth and participation worker will keep accurate and detailed records of contact with young people, and produce and maintain records, statistics and reports, ensuring the Children’s Society’s codes of confidentiality and standards are adhered to.

**KEY SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES**

In order to be successful in this role, you must have:

- The ability to listen to others and work in a non-judgmental way.
- The ability to work with individuals and groups of children and young people from diverse backgrounds and those for whom English is not a first language.
- The ability to problem solve and thinks creatively.
- Excellent partnership working skills
- The ability to communicate well with diverse groups including a range of professionals.
- The ability to present confidently.

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.
