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.
