Job description

Our client's ambition for the Youth Resilience Service is to be a truly integrated service to provide specialist and tailored support to vulnerable adolescents age 13 to 18 with the exception of young people age 10+ that may enter into criminal justice system and require youth justice intervention. The focus of the service will be on young people who are:

  • Aged 13 + with multiple vulnerabilities and engaged in risky behaviour whose needs cannot be met by Family and Youth Support cluster teams;
  • Aged 10 + who may enter into the criminal justice system and require youth justice intervention and those under 13 who require substance misuse support;
  • Engaged with offending and or substance misuse, risky behaviour or at risk of Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE);
  • At risk of homelessness with a focus on 16/17 year olds;
  • At risk of becoming children looked after

The service will support adolescents by working to the following principles:

  • There is one care plan and one lead professional without young people having to tell their story more than once, improving journey of the child;
  • Case allocation within the new service is aligned to the three clusters model geography;
  • Personalised, strength based and creative interventions provided at the right time and the right place; and
  • A child centred approach within service design and delivery.
