A bit about the role

We are looking for a compassionate and motivated Young Persons Practitioner to deliver high-quality support to children, young people and their families. Working within a multi-agency environment, you will provide specialist interventions on a one-to-one, group and community basis, helping young people overcome challenges and achieve positive outcomes.

The role involves assessing needs, managing risk, coordinating support plans and acting as a lead practitioner where appropriate. You will ensure the voice of the child remains central to all aspects of your work while contributing to collaborative planning and decision-making with professionals across social care, education and health services.

What you do could make a difference

• Deliver high-quality, outcome-focused support to children, young people and families based on assessed need.
• 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.

Will you join us?

Through the delivery of information, guidance, early years support and targeted interventions, the project works collaboratively with families and partner agencies to strengthen resilience, improve outcomes for children and young people, and prevent difficulties from escalating.

Diversity, equality and inclusion

At Action for Children, we’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels respected, valued, and able to thrive. We know that racism and discrimination create barriers, and we’re taking active steps to challenge these inequalities in our organisation and in the communities we serve.

We strongly welcome applications from people who are Black, Asian, or from other racialised and ethnically marginalised communities, as well as disabled people, who are currently under‑represented in our workforce. We are committed to removing barriers in our recruitment processes and ensuring fair access to opportunities.

We also encourage applications from men, who are under‑represented in our Children’s Services roles. We recognise that people hold multiple identities, and we value the richness this brings to our team.
