Personal Advisor, Tameside
Pay rate £15 per hour
Contract role
Vitalis are recruiting for an experienced Personal Advisor to work in a Transitions Team in Tameside.
The role of a Personal Advisor in Tameside can be lifechanging for a young person transitioning into adulthood, especially for young people who have had adverse childhood experiences. PAs make strong and sustained connections with young people and ensure that support and services are appropriate in meeting each young person’s needs.
Many of our young people coming into care have experienced trauma and it is essential for PAs to understand trauma informed practices and continue to update and develop their knowledge and practice skills in this area.
The role of a PA is a vital lifeline for young people to feel connected, safe, supported, valued and to have a sense of belonging. For young people who have experienced multiple adversities and relationship breakdowns, a PA can help build a young person’s trust in other professionals and lifelong relationships. The PA does not work in isolation. They should advocate for, and work together with, a wide range of services on behalf of the care leaver.
The role of a PA is more than ensuring a young person’s basic day to day needs are met. It’s about having belief, aspirations and a commitment to supporting young people to thrive. Working in partnership with care leavers to co-produce tailored plans, through listening and valuing care leavers, wishes, goals and aspirations, a PA can enable a successful transition into adulthood.
