Do you enjoy working with young people? Are you creative, flexible and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that you provide the support that would be good enough for your child? Are you a strong advocate who wants to ensure that young people have someone standing in their corner supporting and advocating for them?
‘Our Place’ is a creative and flexible Service that works with the most vulnerable young people and their families. Originally, North Yorkshire County Council developed the model known as ‘No Wrong Door’, but was renamed ‘Our Place’ by our young people.
The model drives our approach to provide multi-agency support to children & young people aged nine plus who are on the edge of care or edging towards care, with the goal of providing permanence in a family setting.
We use relational and restorative approaches to ensure we are working with young people, listening to be sure we understand and working at young people’s pace to support them to thrive and achieve their full potential. Therapeutic Parenting with PACE is embedded at the Hub and is the foundation of our ‘Model of Care’.
The Service is based in the ‘Our Place’ Hub and provides:
* A responsive and flexible Outreach Support
* Bespoke and creative packages of Care
* A Residential component (rated Outstanding by Ofsted in October 2023
The role will involve working in the community and in family homes, to support, guide and help provide stability to young people and their families. You will also work shifts in the Residential Hub, which will include working unsociable hours, including evenings, weekends, Bank Holiday’s and sleep in duties.
The Service is delivered through a multidisciplinary team, managed by a Practice Manager and two Deputy Managers.
What makes the Service truly multi-disciplinary is that we have a Clinical Psychologist (Life Coach), Speech and Language Therapist (Communication Worker), Data Analyst and Business Support embedded in the Team.
