Benefits:

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.

The Children's Society are investing in a new young people's wellbeing hub in the London Borough of Newham.

This is an exciting and unique opportunity to shape a service as part of The Children's Society's mission to reverse the decline of children's wellbeing by 2030.

We believe support should be provided at the earliest possible opportunity, before young people reach crisis point.

The service will be set up as a hub, with opportunities to expand to other delivery sites (spokes) and will be designed so that young people do not need an appointment to access support.

The service will work with young people holistically, offering a combination of information, advice, signposting, targeted activities, and therapeutic interventions that respond to young people's individual needs, so that they can regain and maintain their wellbeing.

As part of a service design process, we've been working collaboratively with professionals, young people, communities, and others in Newham to develop solutions that respond directly to children's needs.

KEY SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES

Excellent understanding of the emotional health and wellbeing needs of children and young people in the local community, informed by current research and evidence bases.

Knowledge and experience of delivering brief interventions / therapeutic interventions (e.g. Solution Therapy and Cogitative Behaviour Therapy).
