We believe that it's the quality of the people who work with us that sets us apart – their energy, commitment, skills and burning desire to make a difference to young people's lives.
We offer a working environment that values staff, promotes improvement and is small enough to give you a real chance to influence and achieve.
Professional development opportunity
At Young Futures we are committed to delivering the highest standard of care to our young people and we invest in our staff to ensure they are appropriately qualified. To deliver on our commitment we support all our full-time staff to complete the Children, Young People and Families Practitioner Diploma.
This Ofsted recognised qualification is considered the gold standard for practitioners. To help you achieve this we offer a personal tutor, dedicated study time and a £1,000 study bonus.
We're always looking for kind, energetic, passionate, and fun individuals who love a challenge, have some experience of working with young people and want to make a big difference.
We currently have a full complement of staff but will be looking to recruit Children and Young People Practitioners from autumn 2025 in line with our projected growth. Full details will be displayed on this page in August/September.
We value the importance of determining the right strategy, keeping everyone on board, enhancing our management practices and continuously evaluating what's working or needs further improvement. We deliver services in an increasingly competitive, rapidly changing sector with limited resources.
For us, the effective development of our collective talents and career prospects is the only way we can ensure sustained growth and competitive advantage.
We are committed to embedding inclusive practices, promoting equality and valuing diversity in all of our activities. We understand and acknowledge the positive benefits that this commitment will bring to the young people we support, our staff and our partner organisations.
We are striving to be an employer of choice for all and take measures to ensure that Young Futures is attracting recruits from the most skilled and committed people regardless of their background. Whilst we can already be proud of some examples of excellent practice, we are not complacent and recognise that we can always do better.
For 2024-25 we have set ourselves a number of challenging but achievable targets in our new Inclusion and Equality Action Plan.
We believe all staff should be paid well for work that delivers excellent services and changes the lives of young people in and leaving care.
