 The postholder will support them through their asylum process, develop opportunities to find and develop their community of support as well as prepare for their futures while being away from their families.

 The post is based in a service where the management team is supportive and believes in high praise and high challenge.

 The post is based in an established team who know our young people well and who are experienced, incredibly knowledgeable and committed to getting the best for their young people.
