A bit about the role

As a Children’s Services Worker, you’ll help raise awareness and provide support to children and young people who care for a family member who have a mental illness (including substance misuse), a physical or learning disability, a chronic illness, or is neurodivergent.

You’ll communicate effectively with children, young people, and their families to meet their needs.This includes understanding how to support children and young people with their health and wellbeing, experiences of trauma, barriers with education and employment, dealing with separation and loss or grief.

About the Service 

Our Ynys Môn Young Carers Service supports children and young people aged 8-18 years who have caring responsibilities at home.

Young carers and their families face considerable difficulties and are under constant pressure which affects all aspects of their lives. The service provides practical, financial, and emotional support to enable families to be able to cope and manage and to ensure that children can maintain a safe and happy childhood.

What you do could make a difference

• Carry out young carers assessments and deliver tailored, needs‑led support to children, young people, and their families.
• Use trauma‑informed approaches to listen, validate experiences, and help young people understand their situations.
• Deliver evidence‑based interventions through both group work and one‑to‑one sessions, while monitoring and reviewing impact.
• Work collaboratively with multi‑agency partners, participate in meetings, and ensure safeguarding concerns are identified and escalated appropriately.
• Represent the service and organisation at community events, provide information, and organise short breaks including completing risk assessments.

Let's talk about you

• Experience supporting children, young people, and families, ideally in a similar setting, with an understanding of trauma‑informed practice.
• Hold (or willing to work toward) a Level 3 QCF in Health and Social Care, with strong assessment, record‑keeping, and IT skills.
• Able to prioritise workload, work independently and as part of a team, and adapt to provide a responsive service.
• Comfortable working in a hybrid model, with a full driving licence and reliable transport to cover Ynys Môn and occasionally Gwynedd.
• Flexible to work daytime hours with some evenings, weekends, and overnight residentials as required.
• Being able to work in the medium of Welsh is essential

Why Action for Children?

Every child should have a loving home, food, warmth, the chance to grow and learn - the support to cope with life’s challenges. But too many children don’t. By bringing your passion and unique skills and experience, you’ll help us change that where it really matters.

We've been driven by love to take action for children for over 150 years, giving them the protection and practical help they need. A lot’s changed since 1869. But what children really need, hasn’t. So as long as children need us, we’ll be here.

The difference is what you do. You can learn more about why we do it, by checking out our 'Driven by Love' video.
