Description
£13.65 an hour as per sessional rate.

Location:
Home based, but travel is expected to cover Cheshire East and Cheshire West and Chester.

The Children's Society has been helping children and young people in this country for over 140 years.

We run local services across the North West that support children when they are at their most vulnerable and in desperate need of help.

We're there for children, every step of the way.


This ro
le sits within our Youth Impact domain, which works to provide immediate one-to-one support for children and young people who urgently need advocacy across Cheshire and support for children and young people who go missing in Manchester.

We are currently looking for a skilled practitioner to join our dynamic and ambitious team on a
sessional basis.

Hours will be available as/when the service identifies need for sessional staff and we can accommodate flexibility to suit sessional workers at times when they are available (e.g., morning/afternoon/evening).


A key part of this role will be to enable the children and young people we support to be able to express their views on matters important to them and issues which affect their lives.

In order to be successful in this role, you must have:

  • A relevant professional qualification e.g. Youth & Community, Education or NVQ 3 Health & Social Care Or HNC in Social Care or Early Years 3 NVQ3 Health & Social Care.
  • Knowledge and understanding of a range of evidencebased interventions and creative ways of working with children and young people
  • An ability to develop and maintain positive and constructive relationships with children and young people
