A great opportunity has arisen to join the Missing Young Persons Team within Calderdale Council.

The role is to ensure that Missing Return Interviews are completed with Children and Young People in line with statutory guidance.


We are looking for someone who can creatively engage with and support young people who go missing from home and care.

You will need to be an approachable figure for young people and will provide a service where they get a chance to have their voices heard about their missing episodes.


You will build an understanding and awareness of the professional and social networks surrounding young people to build a picture as to the reasons why a young person goes missing.


We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expect all staff to share this commitment.

Applicants to posts that are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act will require a DBS from the Disclosure and Barring Service before the appointment is confirmed.
