- Undertake assessments, develop support plans, review progress and manage risk effectively.
- Provide specialist interventions through one-to-one work, group programmes and community-based activities.
- Ensure children and young people remain at the centre of all interventions, with their views, wishes and feelings represented in meetings, plans and records.
- Attend and actively contribute to multi-agency meetings, reviews and professional discussions.
- Review and evaluate support provided, contributing to continuous service improvement.
- Undertake home and community visits in line with lone working policies and procedures.
Let’s talk about you
- Experience of working within a social care, education, health or community-based support environment.
- Ability to build positive, professional relationships with children, young people, families and partner agencies while maintaining appropriate boundaries.
- Great organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise a varied workload and manage competing demands.
- Demonstrable commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, and experience of working within diverse communities.
- Knowledge and practical application of safeguarding procedures and child-centred practice.
- Ability and willingness to undertake home and site visits in accordance with lone working procedures.
- Working towards a Level 3 Diploma in Youth Work, Counselling or a related qualification.

Why Action for Children?
Every child should have a loving home, food, warmth, the chance to grow and learn - the support to cope with life’s challenges. But too many children don’t. By bringing your passion and unique skills and experience, you’ll help us change that where it really matters.
We've been driven by love to take action for children for over 150 years, giving them the protection and practical help they need. A lot’s changed since 1869. But what children really need, hasn’t. So as long as children need us, we’ll be here.
