The Targeted Youth Support Service (TYSS) is a new and innovative service focused on offering a range of specialist services to young people aged 13-18 and their families who are in need of additional support. This involves carrying out assessments for young people identified as Child in Need and working in partnership with other agencies to ensure the appropriate provision of services to enable these young people to reach their full potential and to avoid the need for escalation to child protection or care proceeding For young people at imminent risk of care the team will provide intensive family support to enable young people to remain at home and to avoid young people from entering the care system.

We are looking for a further qualified social worker with a range of experience to complete our team and to be part of this exciting new service.

You will work directly with young people who are at risk of family breakdown, homelessness, being exploited, substance misuse, domestic violence, offending and many other significant issues. If you would like to make a difference to the lives of these young people and feel you have the skills to do so please contact Kirstie Lloyd-Uzoegbu, TYSS Intensive Service Manager, for further information on 07920 160234.
