Work on the safety and development of young people in complex family situations. As a Youth Consultant, you support families with concerns about the development or safety of children and young people, ensuring that appropriate help is provided in a timely manner. You operate in a dynamic work environment where safety, diligence, and collaboration are central. You conduct interviews with families, make safety assessments, and coordinate with schools, care providers, and safety partners.
Through a secondment agency, you will work on assignments that match your experience and development. This combines variety across public organizations with the security, guidance, and professional growth offered by a committed employer.
What you will do. Depending on your experience, you will work independently or with guidance on complex cases within youth and safety. Your responsibilities include:
- Conducting interviews with families and young people
- Assessing safety and developmental risks
- Managing complex family situations
- Deploying and coordinating appropriate assistance
- Collaborating with schools, neighborhood teams, and safety partners
- Applying the reporting code and relevant laws and regulations
- Preparing reports and decisions within youth care frameworks
- Participating in multidisciplinary meetings
- Identifying unsafe or complex family situations
- Monitoring the progress and effectiveness of deployed assistance
- Coordinating with chain partners in care and safety
If you have extensive experience, you will work independently on complex cases and manage the safety domain. If you are still developing, you will receive guidance, clear frameworks, and room to grow in handling complex cases.
