Project Worker (Maternity Cover)

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 the Basic Command Unit in Swansea Neath Port Talbot and other units where required. 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 with occasional requests for return home interview support across the force wide area.
