Children & Young People Coordinator- Young Carers
Do you want to make a difference now and for the future?
Are you confident, approachable, self-motivated and have a flexible attitude?
Then join our team supporting Young Carers, aged 5-18 years, who have caring responsibilities for someone in their family due to disability, long-term illness, mental health, or drug or alcohol misuse.
You’ll deliver the service across a specified area, so your own car is essential. You will manage an existing caseload and new referrals, meeting with families and Young Carers to complete statutory assessments and providing short-term interventions that support Young Carers to improve their resilience, educational chances and wellbeing. This might be signposting to local services, action planning or one-to-one support.
Working closely with schools and Childrens Services, you will make referrals to a range of professionals and community services, ensuring whole family needs are met and thereby reducing the impact of caring on the Young Carer.
There are 2 roles available.
37.5 hours- Canterbury & Thanet
37.5 hours- Sevenoaks & Tunbridge Wells
As a CYP Coordinator, you will plan and deliver respite activities, providing opportunities for Young Carers to spend time with their peers and recognise that they are not alone.
Applicants may have relevant experience of working or volunteering in education, health or social care, or be looking to start a career working with children or young people. This is a full-time role.
You can make the difference and give a Young Carer their childhood back.
