The Children’s Society has been helping children and young people in this country for over 140 years. We run local services that support children when they are at their most vulnerable and in desperate need of help. We’re there for children, every step of the way.
This role sits within our Youth Impact directorate, which works to provide one-to-one support for children who need support.
The Children's Society deliver services in various areas in England. We offer a truly different way of delivering access to mental and emotional health support.

We don't want young people to feel like they don't deserve a place to go because their worry is 'too small.' We don't want young people to have to wait to receive the care they deserve.
