Coventry, Coventry, United Kingdom Coventry City Council Full time

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Adolescent Support Worker to join our team at Coventry City Council. As an Adolescent Support Worker, you will provide intensive support to young people aged 8 – 18 and their families, usually over a period of 6 – 12 weeks.

The work builds on a family's strengths and introduces coping strategies, mixing practical support with strong challenge to address complex and enduring needs. Team members engage young people and their families to defuse crisis within the home, assessing problems, developing measurable goals, and helping the whole family acquire the skills necessary to achieve them.

Cases will span a wide range of issues including family conflict, absence from home, sexual exploitation, educational issues, anti-social behaviour, and substance abuse. Working closely with other agencies and local services, you will be on the front line of an approach that improves behaviours, relationships, confidence, aspiration, employability, living conditions, mental and physical health.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide intensive support to young people and their families
  • Assess problems and develop measurable goals
  • Help families acquire skills to address complex needs
  • Work closely with other agencies and local services

Requirements

You will need to be passionate about working with children, young people, and their families, with a reassuring presence, calm in a crisis, and able to work with families in their homes. You are a team player with a flexible approach, willing to work on a shift basis that includes evenings and weekends.

This post is exempted under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, and appointment to this post will be conditional upon the receipt of a satisfactory response to a check of police records via Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
