At West Sussex County Council, we are ambitious for all children, young people, families, and our workforce. We are committed to improving our services for children, young people, and families in West Sussex that we support. You will join us at a key time in our improvement journey.

We have established a new and experienced leadership team driving forward our ‘Children First’ improvement plan. We don’t underestimate the work that needs to be done and the challenge ahead. That’s why we need professionals, like you, who really want to be part of the positive change that is happening in the Care Leavers service. Be part of an ambitious improvement plan and make a significant difference to the Care Leavers in West Sussex - there has never been a more rewarding time to join

The Care Leavers service work with our care leavers between the ages of 17-25 in their transition to adulthood. Personal Advisors support care leavers to develop the skills needed to live independently and to be aspirational in identifying and achieving their goals, including healthy living, stable homes and good educational opportunities. Transitioning into adulthood is a challenging time for any young people. This is especially so for our care leavers who have often experienced trauma and may have complex needs including mental health, substance use and offending behaviours.
