Be part of something amazing!

We are looking for a team leader to join our London Children and Young People team delivering services for Young Carers who have caring responsibilities for someone in their family due to disability, long-term illness, mental health, or drug or alcohol misuse.

You will join a team who provide consistent, high-quality services that enable Young People to improve their wellbeing, build resilience and achieve their full potential. In this role, you will lead and develop a small team working across Southwark, Bexley and Havering, overseeing planning and delivery of services activities.

You will have responsibility for service delivery across Havering, and manage an existing caseload and new referrals, meet with families and Young Carers to complete statutory assessments, and provide short-term interventions that support Young Carers to improve their resilience, educational chances and wellbeing. This might be signposting to local services, action planning, one-to-one support, or our workshop programme and respite activities.

Working closely with schools and Childrens Services, you will make referrals to a range of professionals and community services, ensuring whole family needs are met and thereby reducing the impact of caring on the Young Carer.

Applicants should have relevant experience of working in education, health or social care. You may have experience of leading a team, or be looking to take the next step in your career. It would be an advantage to have experience of working with complex family dynamics, and knowledge of issues affecting young people and families, including mental health and substance abuse.

Car driver essential.
