Be the person who makes the system work for children and young adults

Circles Network is looking for a skilled, compassionate Keyworker to join the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Keyworker Collaborative, supporting children and young adults up to 25 with learning disabilities, autism, or both, who have complex needs and are at risk of admission to specialist hospitals or out‑of‑area placements.

This role exists because the system does not always work as it should. Your job will be to make it work better, by standing alongside young people and their families, coordinating support, challenging poor practice, and ensuring the right help is in place at the right time.

If you are passionate about rights, inclusion, trauma‑informed practice, and persistent advocacy, this role will give you real scope to make a difference.

What the role involves

As a Keyworker, you will:

• Work directly with children and young adults, and with those who support them, to reduce risk and improve outcomes
• Act as a consistent, trusted point of contact for families navigating education, health, and care systems
• Coordinate and challenge multi‑agency support, holding services to account when needed
• Contribute to Care, Education and Treatment Reviews and Dynamic Support Register processes
• Use creative, accessible communication to ensure children and young adults are truly heard
• Champion person‑centred, trauma‑informed approaches across the system
• Maintain clear, accurate records and share learning locally, regionally, and nationally

This is a role for someone who is organised, resilient, values‑driven, and comfortable working in complexity.

About you

You will have:

• Experience supporting children or young adults with learning disabilities, autism, or related needs
• A strong understanding of the education, health, and care system, or the confidence to navigate it quickly
• Excellent communication skills, including adapting your approach to different needs and situations
• The confidence to escalate concerns and advocate firmly but respectfully
• A commitment to equality, inclusion, and safeguarding
• The ability to manage your own workload while remaining responsive to families

Lived experience, professional qualifications, or knowledge of CETRs and the Dynamic Support Register are welcome, but what matters most is your values, curiosity, and commitment to doing the right thing.
