Do you have a passion and flair for working with young people? Do you want to support young people to develop and achieve their aspirations? Are you able to engage with young people who other services have found it hard to involve?

Tameside MBC has a dedicated team that provides support to young people who may be experiencing a range of challenges e.g. school exclusion, poor school attendance, engaging in anti-social behaviour, experiencing problems in the home environment, experiencing low level mental health difficulties etc

You will be part of a multi-agency service, responsible for your own caseload of young people and their families, providing targeted support to vulnerable children and young people (aged 11 – 17 years) at the earliest opportunity to divert them from risky behaviours, negative influences, social isolation and other factors that contribute to negative outcomes for this group.
This will be achieved by working in collaboration with the schools, the Early Help Integrated Neighbourhood Teams and other key partners including health and the voluntary sector, delivering a Youth Offer that promotes positive engagement, social inclusion and community cohesion, encouraging the young people of the Borough to have high aspirations and helping them to achieve these.
To help us achieve our vision we are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic, motivated and committed worker who has a passion for achieving better outcomes for all young people.

We are looking for a candidate who is able to positively engage some of the most challenging and hard to reach young people across the Borough.

If you feel you meet our requirements and can help us reach our goal we look forward to receiving your application.
