Do you have a keen interest in supporting young parents to achieve their aspirations, whilst building on strengths already in place to develop their parenting journey?

We are recruiting for a reliable and enthusiastic Specialist Young Person’s Worker who has a passion and commitment to provide support to young parents and their children in Bestwood, Nottingham.

Some of the responsibilities of the Specialist Worker are:

• Excellent Knowledge of Safeguarding Children and Young People
• To work in partnership with key stakeholders such as Health, Social Care and Housing
• To assist young people in moving on into settled accommodation.
• To take responsibility for the welfare of the young parents and children on site

Experience of working in an accommodation setting or similar environment and with young people or children is desirable but not necessary.

The role will require you to work weekends Saturday and Sunday shifts on a rota. The role requires a degree of flexibility in relation to working hours.
