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

We run local services 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 role sits within our children and families directorate, which works to provide immediate one-to-one and group support for children who urgently need support.

Your role will be to help us maintain and develop innovative practice to support our work in our services around the country.

We are currently looking for a determined engaging person to join our dynamic, ambitious team.

A key part of this role will be your ability to reduce harm to boys and young men who have been affected by trafficking, exploitation or those who have been missing, by ensuring they are given better support to improve their mental health and wellbeing, increase their understanding of past/current exploitation, increase young person safety through joint working with police, local authority and voluntary organisations to give them better access to protection

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

Relevant experience of working with boys and young men from diverse backgrounds who are affected by trafficking, Child Sexual Exploitation, Child Criminal Exploitation or those who have been missing (essential)
Experience of quickly talking to managers with difficult and complicated safeguarding concerns (essential)
Experience of working in multiagency settings (essential)
Experience of working on your own and within a team (essential)

The Children's Society runs over 100 local services that help thousands of young people who desperately need our support, and we campaign to get laws and policies changed to make children's lives happier and safer.

Every day we're changing the lives of children in this country for the better - and with your help, tomorrow we can be there for even more.
