Barnsley is the place of possibilities.&nbsp;A place where all children and young people can&nbsp;benefit&nbsp;from the opportunities that great childhoods can bring. We want to create and celebrate these opportunities to prepare all children and young people for their futures, helping them to learn, grow and be inspired.&nbsp;
The Great Childhoods Ambition is Barnsley’s commitment to improving the lives and futures of our children and young people, supporting every child to have a great childhood and ensure they feel they belong, and can explore,&nbsp;dream&nbsp;and connect.&nbsp;
Apply to join our friendly and welcoming team, where&nbsp;together&nbsp;we’ll&nbsp;make a real difference in&nbsp;children and&nbsp;young&nbsp;people’s lives by&nbsp;supporting them to be the best they can be.&nbsp;
Barnsley’s&nbsp;Targeted Youth Support Service&nbsp;is&nbsp;responsible for&nbsp;facilitating&nbsp;The Independent&nbsp;Visitors&nbsp;Volunteer&nbsp;(IV)&nbsp;Service&nbsp;for&nbsp;care experienced children and young people&nbsp;and those who may be on the edge of care.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are now looking&nbsp;to enhance our current service offer by employing another&nbsp;Independent Visitor Volunteer Coordinator to&nbsp;support&nbsp;more children and young people who are in care or on the edge of care and&nbsp;may&nbsp;benefit&nbsp;from the independent support of a positive&nbsp;adult&nbsp;role model.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Some children and young people who are cared for by a Local Authority have little or no contact with their parents or may be&nbsp;in the process of being&nbsp;reunited with parents whilst still in care. To safeguard and promote the interests of these children, there is a statutory requirement on Local Authorities within the Children and Young Person’s Act 2008 to appoint Independent Visitors to ‘befriend, assist and support them’. The scheme is available for all children and young people who are ‘in care’ at any point whether they are in residential homes, foster care, or other accommodation or placed out of area and we are now looking to further extend this offer to children and young people who are at risk of being placed in care.&nbsp;
The successful candidate will recruit and deliver training to&nbsp;Independent Visitor&nbsp;volunteers; manage referrals for the local authority and match young&nbsp;people with suitable adult volunteers.&nbsp;&nbsp;The successful candidate should&nbsp;be confident in their ability to mentor&nbsp;and support adult volunteers&nbsp;and their&nbsp;capacity&nbsp;to work as part of a team and independently&nbsp;as a self-starter. A good&nbsp;understanding of safeguarding legislation would&nbsp;be beneficial as would prior&nbsp;experience of working with&nbsp;vulnerable children and young people or children in care.&nbsp;
