• Maintaining accurate case records, assessments and support plans.

• Identifying safeguarding concerns and working with partner agencies.

• Attending meetings and contributing to service development.

About You

You will ideally have experience working with children and young people in a safeguarding or support setting. You should have good communication skills, an understanding of safeguarding, strong organisational abilities and the confidence to build positive relationships with vulnerable young people.

You will be emotionally resilient, able to manage a caseload independently and comfortable delivering group sessions.

A relevant qualification or experience in youth work, counselling, psychology or a related field is desirable. A willingness to undertake mandatory training and ongoing professional development is essential.

Additional Requirements

The role involves travel across Norfolk, with occasional early mornings or evenings. Applicants must hold a full, clean UK driving licence and have access to their own vehicle, with business insurance and breakdown cover.

The successful applicant will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS check.

Due to the nature of the role, there is a genuine occupational requirement for the postholder to be female under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010.
