Hampshire County Council's Care Leavers' teams are committed to improving outcomes for young people when they leave our care. As corporate parents, we want our young people to grow into confident adults and support them in making the transition into adulthood and independent living; we know that success will look different for each individual.
You will be responsible for a caseload of young people aged 16-25 from diverse backgrounds with varying life experiences. Your role involves organizing your diary to manage visiting young people and completing administrative tasks. The main focus is to act as a mentor and coach, supporting young people to reach their full potential. This includes working individually with young people and liaising with partner agencies to ensure the best outcomes and empower young people to make positive choices.
The role is hybrid, requiring work on the move, at home, and in our offices.
