Richmond, United Kingdom Achieving for Children Full time

Job Information

Achieving for Children is a Community Interest Company that has a public sector ethos, combined with the freedom to innovate enabling us to do things differently. As a not-for-profit social enterprise owned by three local authorities (Windsor & Maidenhead, Kingston and Richmond), we offer the freedoms of a social enterprise with the employment benefits of local government. To find out more about us

Social Worker - Leaving Care Team

Achieving for Children has implemented a Cluster Model of service delivery. Our model focuses on providing a range of services for children and families in their local area, based on need, not professional structures. Our Clusters are supported by Central Teams, including the Leaving Care service, that deliver organisational wide functions which are too small or too specialist to be split across geographical areas. 

The Leaving Care service works across Kingston and Richmond to support young people from the age of 16 who are looked after, have recently left care (up to the age of 25) or who are unaccompanied asylum seeking children, to become independent and inspire them to set ambitious goals for themselves. To help the children have the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to live independently.

About the role

Social Workers in the Leaving Care service support young people who are looked after (CLA) and Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children (UASC) from around age 16, working with the Permanence Team to transfer cases at the most appropriate point for the young person. Social Workers lead on the identification of needs and pathway planning, and provide direct support to young people to achieve their aims.

Social Workers will carry some cases beyond the young person’s 18th birthday but may increasingly hand over support for older young people to Personal Advisers, as appropriate for each case.

For further information about this role, please contact Shaira Makorie by email for an informal discussion.
