Can you help us develop an outstanding service for young people in Surrey?

Do you have a passion to support young people's emotional health and wellbeing?

The Surrey Wellbeing Partnership is a group of twelve charities, including Barnardo's, working together to meet the emotional needs of children and young people in Surrey. The Partnership is part of a larger Alliance of organisations, including Surrey andBorders NHS Trust and Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust. The Surrey Wellbeing Partnership aims to provide outstanding services for children and young people in need of emotional support and care.

Wellbeing Practitioners will provide direct and virtual support, working collaboratively and with a strengths-based approach to support children and young people to improve their emotional wellbeing and resilience.

The Community Wellbeing Team operates within a Thrive Framework where choice and shared decision making is fundamental. It is a relational model, and we hold a non-judgmental and trusting relationship between the staff member and children, young people,and parents as crucial to their ongoing wellbeing. You will receive training on the Thrive model at the start of your employment.
