Launceston, United Kingdom Cornwall Council Full time

We wish to appoint two Targeted Youth Worker's on a permanent, full-time basis based in Launceston, Cornwall. One post is to work within the North Cornwall Early Help Team and the other is to work within the Family Assessment Support Team. The posts cover North Cornwall and Callington Town and surrounding area and therefore it is essential that you hold a full and valid driving licence with access to a vehicle. It is a requirement that you have a JNC Youth and Community Work qualification or degree level equivalent qualification related to Youth studies.

Targeted Youth Support Workers (TYSW) have responsibility for undertaking assessments and supporting child planning with a family focused and relationship based approach. You would be responsible for undertaking direct group and 1:1 work with vulnerable young people 13- 18 years and their parents/carers.

Through the development and delivery of evidence-based practice you will work with empathy, resourcefulness and a solution focused approach to engage and support vulnerable young people and their families. Diverse youth work skills are required to enable swift and easy access to multiagency Early Help to support young people to be safe, have good levels of wellbeing and help them to reach their full potential. You will be organised in approach, emotionally resilient, a good communicator, be able to use your initiative and work well in teams.

Please contact Philippa Drummond, Family Hub Coordinator if you would like to discuss these opportunities further

Whilst the location/work-base for this role has been specified, the current Government guidance around social distancing and our evolving ways of working means that the role may require you to also work remotely (e.g. from home/other locations). We will discuss this with you during the recruitment process.

Cornwall Council is committed to safeguarding and following safer recruitment principles to help make sure our staff and volunteers are suitable to work with children, young people and adults at risk. It’s a vital part of creating a safe and positive environment and making a commitment to keeping all service users safe from harm.

Fairness and inclusion are at the heart of our vision for Cornwall. In order to best serve our communities, we are striving to achieve a diverse workforce that is inclusive of all backgrounds, cultures and identities; e.g. race, disability, sex, gender, age, religion and sexual orientation. We are an equal opportunities and Disability Confident employer, and we will assess applicants on their merits.
