Job description

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our dynamic NYAS Cymru team.  We are currently seeking to appoint a Project Worker to conduct Return Home Interviews with children and young people living in South Wales, who have returned after being missing from home or care. This role will be full time, working 35 hours per week, and will be fixed term for 6 months with the possibility of extension (maternity cover). The role will be home based with some travel to a Basic Command Unit in Swansea Neath Port Talbot or Cwm Taf Morgannwg (Bridgend, Merthyr and Rhondda Cynon Taff). 

Working alongside our project worker team and partner agency, South Wales Police, you will provide support for children and young people to explore the reasons for being missing, identifying risks and vulnerabilities to exploitation, ensuring reports are completed within the agreed timescale.

The successful candidate will work on an agile basis and will primarily involve extensive travel across the Swansea Neath Port Talbot area or Cwm Taf Morgannwg area with occasional requests for return home interview support across the force wide area.

About you

We are looking for a proactive and dynamic team member with significant experience of direct work with children and young people, within a social care environment, including those who have been and / or at risk of being exploited.  You will have the ability to work creatively with children and young people, responding to high service demand, with excellent interpersonal and report writing skills.

If you feel you could be an ideal candidate to join our NYAS Cymru team, we would love to hear from you.

You will receive a full induction with ongoing opportunities for continued professional development. With regular support and supervision from your line manager and the opportunity to partake in various staff wellbeing activities and initiatives.

When completing the application form, it is important that you refer to the person specification within the job description and detail how you can evidence the criteria.

The job description can be located at the right hand side of this page.

NYAS operates robust safe procedures to ensure the protection of the children, young people and adults at risk we work with. To comply with NYAS’s Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy candidates will be subject to an enhanced DBS check, references, South Wales Police Vetting and a Digital Risk Assessment.

In accordance with UK immigration law, NYAS is required to ensure that all prospective candidates have the legal right to work in the United Kingdom. Therefore, proof of eligibility to work in the UK will be required as part of the recruitment process.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early once we receive a high number of applications.
