Personal Adviser (Leaving Care): Children we care for and young people leaving our care team (Here4U)
We have an exciting opportunity for a new Personal Adviser (focussed on young people leaving our care) in the Children we care for and young people leaving our care team(Here4U).
As a member of the Here4U team you will have limitless opportunities to make a huge difference to the lives of young people (up to 25 years) who are leaving our care. The team support these young people to ensure they receive the best possible opportunities in life.
In the Here4U Team you will be working directly with young people from age 16 – 25yrs old on a daily basis, building long term relationships supporting them to achieve their potential as adults.
The pod that this role will be based in, will have particular emphasis on supporting our young people who have been in our care as Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children (UASC). The successful candidate will therefore have exceptional verbal and non-verbal communication skills, and the ability to connect with individuals from a range of backgrounds with unique experiences.
To enable you to work to your best we will develop you in your role and as part of the team; additional training and support will be provided, and you will have an opportunity to develop the range of interventions and skills you bring to make a difference to children and young people. You will have opportunities to work alongside your peers, with the creation & delivery of group work and activities with care leavers. This will include supporting young people to celebrate their milestones, and participate in events honouring their individual faiths and festivals.
This role will require the worker to have some flexibility in the working hours to meet young people’s needs, with the possibility of evening and weekend work. It is also likely that this role will require some flexibility with regards to travelling to meet with our young people, and you will therefore require a full UK Driving Licence for this role.
