You will offer young people the best opportunity to engage and re-build relationships with schools and improve young people’s wellbeing working towards a reduction in high-risk behaviours and mental health concerns. You will help organisations become more trauma-informed and improve stability at home.

This is for a limited term contract until October .

What will you be doing? 

You are responsible for providing direct intervention packages on a one-to-one basis with children, young people and families, some of whom will have a range of problems and challenges. You will represent and support the needs of the young person you are working with, providing regular reports to share with schools and any education panels. Where required, you will provide mediation, advice and guidance between the young person and the school. You will work across South Gloucestershire visiting schools and homes. It will be your responsibility to ensure that records and reports are maintained in accordance with service guidelines. You will undertake assessments to determine the best intervention needed.

You will hold an NVQ3 in Social Care/Youth Work/Teaching or equivalent relevant qualification or be working towards an appropriate qualification related to the provision of services to children and young people. You will have relevant experience of working in a similar service area, with children, young people or families requiring additional support.

Due to the nature of the role, you must be able to demonstrate strong relationship building skills with hard to engage young people.
