• Proactively manage a caseload of vulnerable young people, including those with special educational needs, care experience, or involved in youth offending.
• Work collaboratively with families, schools, learning providers and other professionals to develop and implement effective action plans.
• Shape and test approaches for identification, engagement and support into education, employment and training
• Promote participation in learning and progression into education, employment or training.

• 5+ years experience working with vulnerable young people and delivering targeted interventions.
• Strong communication, team work and organisational skills, with the ability to build trust and motivate young people.
