Project Worker
£22,128 - £25,207 pa
Based in Newcastle, 15 hours per week
Interview will be held on 13/02/2012
The Children’s Society wants to create a society where children are valued, respected and happy. We are committed to helping disadvantaged and vulnerable young people, including children in care, or those who have run away. We give a voice to disabled children so their needs are met in ways suited to them. Through our work, young carers find time away from their responsibilities, and young refugees have a chance to rebuild their lives in new communities. Children are at the heart of all we do, and we want to build a better childhood for every child.

The Children’s Society’s SMART Project supports refugee, asylum seeking and migrant families, and young people living in Newcastle. Your work will involve providing targeted support to these children and families with challenges they face such as dealing with discrimination, poverty, poor mental health, maintaining self-esteem and the fear of being deported.

Our model of support incorporates the Common Assessment Framework (CAF) and work can range from helping service users to read and understand their correspondence, supporting them to access relevant services in the city, structured development of parenting skills, and generally building their trust in our project as a ‘first port of call’ if they need support.

You’ll be able to demonstrate skills and experience in building excellent relationships with people facing hardship, as well as assessing, planning and delivering action plans that address the issues that children, young people and parents have identified.

An understanding of the issues facing people within these communities is important, and you must be a good communicator, equally effective whether relating to young people or their parents/carers.

For an informal discussion please contact the SMART Project on 0191 256 5037.
