London, United Kingdom Young Futures Full time

Most of us can count on our families for love, support and guidance when we need it most. But young people in care have to grow up without this safety net. And at age 18, the limited support they do receive drops substantially at a really critical time.This lack of support can leave them feeling abandoned and vulnerable and facing a future of further disadvantage.

We're here to fill that gap and to support young care-leavers on their journey into adulthood. We help them move towards practical, financial, social and emotional independence and a happier and more fulfilling future.

**Children & Young People’s Senior Practitioners, Residential Setting

**Salary**:£28,400 to £32,400 pa + benefits

We're looking for kind, energetic, passionate and fun individuals who love a challenge, have some experience of working with young people and want to make a big difference.

You will lead on plans to support their health, education, social, and day-to-day needs along with a specialist strand of work i.e. promoting sports, culture and arts (SCAs). This is an important and significant role in helping young care leavers thriveand fulfil their potential.

We are passionate about learning and development and committed to providing an outstanding experience for all staff. As soon as practicable we’ll enrol you on a Diploma programme and give you the time, support and incentives to succeed.

**Do you have?**
- Experience of working with young people - e.g. mentoring, coaching, teaching.
- Key qualities that enable good engagement - e.g. warmth, kindness, humour.
- Strong values and a commitment to inclusion.
- An ability to understand, recognise and respond appropriately to risk.
- Ambition matched with a desire for professional development.

**Salary & Benefits**

**As a result we offer**:

- Competitive Sector Salary (including options to flex working hours up or down) + Work Related Travel + Pension Contribution
- Generous Annual Leave - 37 Days pro-rata, including Bank Holidays.
- Wellbeing Budget (£25 per month for all staff to encourage self-care)
