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 Manchester Missing Service, where we support young people who go missing from home, and parents and carers of those missing children. We provide one-to-one and group support, and your role will help us to maintain and develop innovative practice to support our work.

We are currently looking for a lead parent worker, to join our dynamic, ambitious team.

A key part of this role will be your ability to ensure that you support parents whose child/ren are going missing, or coming home late. You will ensure parents have a greater understanding of missing, exploitation and are supported to effectively safeguard their child/ren. This work will involve complex multi-agency safeguarding, safety planning with families, socio-educative work with parents/carers, trauma-informed practice and advocacy.

**KEY SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES**

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

- Experience of working with families
- Empathy and relationship building skills.
- Negotiation and influencing skills
- Ability to plan and manage own workload
- Communication skills - specifically for:

- communicating with young people and parent/carers where there may be barriers i.e. language/learning needs
- communicating around sensitive issues
- communicating with a range of professionals and stakeholders
- Presentation and facilitation skills and ability to produce publicity and educational materials
- An ability to monitor, record and evaluate the work of the project
- IT skills, particularly using Microsoft Office software package and case recording systems online

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.
