Would you like to work for an organisation that believes that everyone, regardless of the challenges they face, should have the opportunity to thrive?
We are looking for a Care Leaver Navigator to work across Kent, providing personalised support to young people (aged 16–25) leaving care, including unaccompanied asylum-seeking young people.
Taking a person-centred, holistic approach, you will support young people to build confidence, develop independence, and improve their wellbeing. You will connect them to education, employment, training, and community opportunities, while offering practical and emotional support during their transition to adulthood.
You will work alongside young people to understand what matters to them, helping them create personalised plans, strengthen support networks, and feel less isolated, ensuring fewer care leavers feel lost and more are supported to thrive.
You will need to be able to drive and have access to a vehicle for this role, as it involves community and home visits. The role includes providing regulated activity with adults and children, so employment is subject to an Enhanced DBS check. We consider all disclosures on an individual basis and are committed to fair and inclusive recruitment.
At Involve, we believe our team should reflect the richness and diversity of our society. We welcome applications from people with a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and life experiences, including lived experience that helps you understand the challenges our communities face. Whether you bring professional expertise, potential, or a perspective shaped by your own journey, we value what makes you unique and encourage you to apply.
As a Disability Confident employer, we will ensure that a fair and proportionate number of disabled applicants that meet the minimum criteria for this position may be offered the opportunity to demonstrate their skills, talent and abilities at an interview.
You can find out lots more about working for Involve on our website www.involvekent.org.uk/joinus including a full Job Description and Person Specification for the role.
