About the role
As a Break Transition Worker, you’ll be working closely with young people who have recently left their children’s residential care home and are taking their first steps into independence.

Success in this role will very much hinge on the strong, trusting relationship you’ll build with the group of young people you’re working with.

You’ll make regular visits to their home and support them to increase their independent living skills. Whether that means teaching them one of your signature dishes (talk to Transition Worker Matt in Cambridgeshire for his Weetabix burger recipe), helping them to pay bills, applying for benefits or filling in a job application the role you will play in young people’s lives will be fundamental in supporting mental health, wellbeing and their future.

You will help them break down the barriers they might feel as a young person leaving care and be the best possible version of themselves as they enter independence.

You’ll work flexibly and have a can do attitude, be able to adapt your approach to suit the individuals or professionals you’re working with. You are calm under pressure and resilient enough to cope with challenging emotions and behaviours. Our houses are in Cambridge, Peterborough and Wisbech; you have access to a car for visiting our young people and are comfortable with lone working.
