👩💼 About the Role
As part of the Transitions Team, you will work with young adults (typically aged 16–25) who are moving from children’s to adult services. Your focus will be on assessing needs early and supporting people to live as independently and confidently as possible.
In this role, you will:
- Undertake holistic assessments of need, risk, and capacity
- Support care planning for young adults with physical, learning, and mental health needs
- Work in partnership with families, carers, health professionals, education providers, and voluntary agencies
- Promote independence, community inclusion, and choice
- Provide person-centred support that leads to sustainable positive outcomes
- Use legislation such as the Care Act 2014, Mental Capacity Act, and Children and Families Act to guide best practice

- Strong knowledge of adult social care legislation, including Care Act 2014 and Mental Capacity Act
- Experience working with young people with disabilities, complex needs, or mental health issues
- Excellent communication, negotiation, and person-centred planning skills
- A track record of working in multi-disciplinary, interagency settings
- Confidence in using assessment tools and case management systems
🧠 Key Responsibilities
- Carry out detailed assessments of young adults’ care and support needs
- Develop and implement individual support plans that promote independence
- Manage a varied and evolving caseload
- Provide advice and mentoring to unqualified staff and students
- Engage effectively with families and support networks to co-produce care plans
