Over the past 10 years we have grown across Greater Manchester delivering services in Stockport, Salford, Cheshire East, and Warrington, in the upcoming year we have plans to extend our services to other local authorities in the surrounding areas.
We are really proud to have developed nationally recognised best practice programmes for young care leavers. To support our continued growth, we have an exciting opportunity for Family Support Coordinator to join our Pure Insight Team. Young Care leavers are some of the most vulnerable young people in our society; many leave school with few qualifications and a significant number are unemployed, living in inadequate housing, and experience poor health and levels of poverty.
Nationally 25% of female care leavers become parents between 16 -18 years of age and 50% by the age of 24. Adjusting to parenthood must happen simultaneously whilst they are still in the process of transitioning out of care or adapting to independent living.
Coping with the stressful demands of learning to take care of themselves and a baby at such a young age, whilst often still struggling to make sense of unstable, often chaotic childhoods, can leave little space for engaging with services in the wider community.
Instead, many care leavers struggle with poor self-esteem. Isolated and lonely, they may lack the confidence, social skills and social network to join new parenting groups in their community. Additionally, time spent in the care system can make care leavers reluctant to ask for and accept support.
Becoming a parent can be the most rewarding experience in the world, but all parents need support networks to thrive as a family.The post of Parent Coordinator is an established role. The role is to take full responsibility for certain aspects of the projects work, as detailed below.
All duties are to be carried out in line with current operating policies and procedures and any procedures of the partnership agency. In the first instance the post holder reports to the area manager. REF-216 925
