The Children's Society has been helping children and young people in this country for over 130 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 young people's 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 child-centred practitioner to join our dynamic, ambitious team.


A key part of this role will be your ability to ensure that all young people in contact with the service are assessed and treated for identified drugs/alcohol problems.

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

  • A knowledge of substance misuse and awareness of national and local initiatives
  • Knowledge of child adolescent development and person centred interventions
  • Knowledge of relevant drug prevention and harm minimisation strategies to all referred young people


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.
