About the Role
Make the first conversation count - Change a young person’s story.
When a child or young person goes missing, what they experience and what happens when they return — truly matters.
That’s where you come in.
We are looking for a keen, energetic, and tenacious practitioner to deliver timely Return Home Conversations with children across our borough.
This role is about more than asking questions — it’s about listening, building trust quickly, and being genuinely curious about the push and pull factors behind a child’s experience.
You will work confidently with children, families, and professionals, collating what is shared to assess risk, strengthen safety and help shape best possible outcomes.
Your ability to connect and hear what might not be easily said will be central to changing trajectories.
If you believe every child deserves to be listened to — especially when they return — we would love to hear from you.
