We're on a journey to build a workforce reflective of our Borough.

We are committed to fostering diverse teams where everybody can bring their authentic selves to work and feel that they belong. If you want to work for a Council where everybody is encouraged to meet their full potential and make a difference in our neighbourhoods, we would love to hear from you!

Your role:
To work as part of a team to plan, review and provide support to young people 16-25, both preparing to leave care and supporting into adulthood having left care. To have responsibility for a caseload of young people and ensuring their needs are met. To facilitate safety and stability for young people while helping them achieve independence at their own pace. You will work with partners, for example, in Housing, Health and education training and employment to provide a high-quality service to our Care Leavers and work to meet their needs holistically.

About you:
You will have an understanding of the challenges facing Care Leavers and how best to mitigate the adverse life experiences many have faced. You will be passionate about improving the outcomes for care leavers and be able to work in a challenging and fast paced environment. You must be confident in report writing and be able to advocate on behalf of young people where necessary. Importantly you will want to work with young people and help them have a successful transition into adulthood.

You will commit to your corporate parenting role to its full capacity and ensure that Care Leavers receive services/support as you would expect for your own children.

About us:

Wigan Council has been voted ‘Overall Council of the Year’ at the APSE (Association for Public Service Excellence) Awards. We are signed up to the Greater Manchester Continuous Service Commitment ensuring that your service will be continuous or 'unbroken' between the supporting organisations.

The Progress with Unity plan is a place movement for change for the next decade, bringing a new era for Wigan Borough. It draws on the strengths of our individual organisations, recognising that together we can achieve much more for our communities by delivering on our 2 place missions; create fair opportunities for all children, families, residents and businesses and make our towns and neighbourhoods flourish for those who live and work in them.

Our environment is one where regular training and development takes place; where consistent and supportive managers promote reflective work; and a team of enthusiastic workers committed to providing the best possible service to young people. We are based in The Care Leavers Hub, the Hub offers direct support to young people, but also facilitates a multi-agency working environment.

Here at Wigan, we are proud to support flexible working patterns, when the service can accommodate this. We also take a blended approach to where we work, depending on the work we do. This may include working from home, the office, or the community. We like to thank our employees for their hard work and commitment by giving them the opportunity to access a range of exclusive rewards and benefits click here to find out more about working for #TeamWigan.
