It works within a trauma recovery approach, addressing the causes of behaviour and vulnerabilities through multi-disciplinary co-operation, and supports young people at risk of entering care, involved in criminal activity or at risk of exploitation.

• Work on a one-to-one basis, delivering evidence-based interventions in a trauma sensitive way.

• NVQ Level 3 or equivalent qualification.
• Ability to undertake family assessments, develop plans and deliver needs-led packages of support.
• Ability to act as a Lead Professional for a family where appropriate, responsible for day-to-day implementation and coordination of the family plan.
• Strong engagement skills, building relationships with families to enable accurate assessments and plans.
• Knowledge and understanding of child development, adolescent risk-taking behaviour and trauma-informed approaches.
• Key team player, working closely with staff members and specialist workers from other agencies, local authorities and organisations.
• Fluency in English, as required by Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016.
