About the Role

The post of Personal Advisor with the Care Leavers' Service can be both challenging and rewarding. You will be working with young people aged between 16 and 25 who fall under the criteria of the Leaving Care Act.

Many of the young people we work with have very complex needs, and some of the skills you will be required to undertake in the role are patience, tenacity and flexibility.

The Care Leavers' Service is a countywide service based in Eastbourne. You will be required to travel across the county and, at times, out of county and will hold a case load of approximately 20 young people. You will receive regular supervision and relevant training opportunities.

Additional Information

This post is subject to an Enhanced DBS check or Enhanced check for Regulated Activity with the Disclosure & Barring Services (previously the Criminal Records Bureau). Please note that we require evidence of an overseas police check if you have lived or worked abroad.

Your starting salary will be pro rata if the above position is part-time or term-time only.

Work Permits: we may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Border Agency’s Points-based Immigration System.

From 6 April 2011 the Home Office has placed a permanent restriction on the number of migrant workers that all Tier 2 (General) Sponsors can recruit. Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits.
