Are you passionate about working with young people to support them to develop skills and achieve the best outcomes possible as they become adults?

In Bristol, we are committed to hearing the young person’s voice, and we are currently developing our transitions service to ensure that we:

Support young people to plan for important life changes and support them to make informed decisions about their future. Work closely with our young people to manage risks by thinking creatively about safe solutions while considering everything that is important to them.

We complete Care Act assessments and support our young adults through occupational therapy support to maximise independent living. We may also complete support plans to support the commissioning of services to meet needs, and we will utilise other sources of non-commissioned support like charitable organisations and provide technology and equipment to maximise young people’s independence. We work alongside families and carers where we can as we understand the value in supporting a whole family approach. 


Our approach to practice has a multi-disciplinary focus and we work in partnership with a wide range of agencies and professionals including health, education, children’s services, housing, provider services and the police.


As a Senior Practitioner in the service, you will be an important part of the leadership team. You will support the Team Managers to further develop the transitions service and provide day to day consultation, direction, and support to the practitioners. With a calm approach you would be adept at problem solving and be able to manage competing priorities.

You may carry a small caseload of challenging and complex cases and lead by example to model best practice. You must be legally literate in the Care Act 2014, Mental Capacity Act and other key legislation have had experience of working with adult safeguarding previously.
