About the team
Working as part of the Year 11/13 Transition Service you will support young people at risk of becoming NEET (not in employment, education or training) to identify progress to an appropriate post-16 destination. This will involve liaising with parents/carers, schools, further education and training providers, employers and other relevant professionals.
You will be responsible for managing a caseload of young people, recording interventions and reporting on progress.
The role will contribute to the local authority's statutory duty to enable, assist and encourage young people to participate in education and training up to the age of 18. This will be achieved through supporting personal development, including helping young people through challenging issues related to relationships, home life and academic stress.
About the role
In this role you will work with young people looked after by Surrey County Council and their guardians to secure a sustained post-16 education or training destination.
The role will involve building positive and professional relationship with young people to support with careers education, information, advice and guidance and work-related learning, using action plans to progress towards goals. Engagement will involve meeting young people at their homes or in the community to offer support through one-to-one or small group sessions, using appropriate aptitude tests, skills assessment tools, psychometric testing and personal inventories.
By liaising with schools, further education and training providers, employers and wider services including social care, virtual school and SEND, you will support young people to identify and progress towards a suitable education or training destination.
This will involve researching careers, options and support and keeping up-to-date with the labour market, legislation and professional and academic developments. Where relevant this will include visiting employers, further education and training providers and attending events run by educational and professional bodies.
This extends to accompanying young people where they require support to engage and attend essential activities and being present and/or available on exam results day.
You will have a good understanding of the potential challenges faced by young people who are looked after in respect of progression to a post-16 destination. You will be confident in applying overarching knowledge of the education and training landscape to support young people to progress irrespective of the location they are based, with an ability to acquire and apply local knowledge where necessary.

• A good standard of education and excellent communication skills, both verbal and written as you will need to be comfortable and confident communicating with parents and carers, young people and professionals

• Experience of working with parents and carers, young people and families
