Do you have what it takes to build positive and beneficial relationships with young individuals?

Would you like to improve the outcomes for care experienced young people?

Would you like to support young people to build bright and stable futures for themselves?

If yes, we have the perfect role for you

The 18+ Care Leavers Service is a growing service that provides support to the Local Authorities care experienced young people. Kent County Council is a large authority and so this service is based at Worrall House in West Malling.

We require Personal Advisers across both of our office bases to work with both Citizen and Asylum-Seeking Care experienced young people up to the age of 25. You will be the first point of contact for a specific number of young people, with responsibility for providing flexible support, assistance, and advice when they are preparing and planning to leave care, and throughout their transition to adulthood.

You will need to encourage and support the young adults to actively participate and develop robust and detailed Pathway Plan that enable them to move successfully into adulthood and independent living and helps them achieve their goals. The post embodies the Local Authorities commitment to Care experienced young people to act as their corporate parent to help them reach their potential.

Our care experienced young people come from a diverse range of backgrounds, so you’ll need to be flexible with your time and imaginative in your approach to help them achieve the best possible outcomes. You’ll need to be very organised and capable of balancing priorities, including the need to carefully record your work and provide good planning which reflects the aspirations of the young people you’ll be supporting. You’ll need to build close working relationships with colleagues in other agencies as part of a wider network and advocate on behalf of the young people to ensure their needs are met. The Service was rated as “Good” at its last Ofsted inspection and is striving to be “Outstanding”.

You will be well supported with regular 1:1 supervision, training, team practice and reflections meetings and working alongside colleagues who are passionate about what they do.

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position. The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements. The appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification.

Closing date: 30.11.23

Interviews will be held 07.12.23 at Worrall House
