Deliver a rapid response to children and families in crisis, helping them to address and overcome difficulties that place them at risk.

Work collaboratively with a skilled team to support young people at home and in our centres, offering flexible services that include evenings and weekends as needed.

Engage with adolescents who present with challenging behaviour, utilising your experience to guide and support them toward positive development.

What We're Looking For:

• Experience working with adolescents, particularly those who exhibit challenging behaviour.
• Ability to work collaboratively with carers and as part of a wider professional team.
• Flexibility in your work schedule, including availability for some evenings and weekends.
• A valid driving license and full use of a car.
• We will need to request an Enhanced DBS for you.

If you're passionate about helping young people stay connected with their families and thrive in their home environment, we would love to hear from you. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a growing service making a real impact in the community.
