- By supporting them to achieve their personal goals e.g. going back to education, gaining employment etc.
What will you need?
- NVQ3 Health & Social Care or appropriate equivalent qualification or already be working towards this.
- Excellent communication skills
- The ability to build relationships at all levels across multiple agencies
- An understanding of the issues faced by young parents and the ability to engage with them and build trust

How will we reward you?
- Minimum 29 days' holiday (pro rata)
- Flexible working, including maternity, paternity and adoption packages
- Season ticket travel loans
