Responsibilities
Within Lincolnshire, we use the Signs of Safety model and the Valuing Care tool to help us plan, assess, and understand young people's needs.
The role of the Leaving Care Worker involves the use of these tools and training to develop inspiring and impactful Pathway Plans so young people know their trajectory and who is there to support them.
As the heart of every plan is a close and supportive relationship between the service and young people, so a proven track record of nurturing relationships and providing care and support is vital in any prospective candidates.
Workers will be required to carry out statutory face-to-face visits, so travelling both locally and nationally to carry out visits is vital.
As a Personal Adviser you will ensure that young people have the right information, advice, guidance, and support to meet their needs.
