We are currently recruiting for several Leaving Care Personal Advisor positions to join Birmingham’s 18+ Services, supporting care leavers aged 18–25 as they take the next steps towards independent adulthood.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Personal Advisor, Leaving Care Worker, Care Leaver Advisor or Social Care professional who is passionate about helping young people build brighter, more independent futures.

What will you be doing? As a Leaving Care Personal Advisor, you will manage your own caseload of care leavers, providing consistent, practical and relationship-based support to help young people successfully transition into adulthood.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Working with eligible, relevant, former relevant and qualifying care leavers aged 18–25.
• Completing and reviewing Pathway Plans alongside young people and relevant professionals.
• Supporting young people to prepare for independent living and adulthood.
• Helping care leavers access appropriate accommodation, education, employment, training, benefits and other services.
• Building positive, trusting relationships and ensuring young people remain actively involved in decisions about their future.
• Assessing individual needs and coordinating appropriate support packages.
• Working alongside social workers, carers, families and partner agencies.
• Supporting young people with continuing care needs and helping them achieve a positive transition into adulthood.
• Maintaining accurate and up-to-date case records, assessments and plans.
• Participating in duty and referral work when required.
• Advocating for young people's entitlements and ensuring they receive the services and support available to them.
• Contributing to wider service development and multi-agency working.

What are we looking for? We are looking for professionals who understand the challenges care leavers can face and who are committed to helping young people develop the confidence, skills and support networks they need to thrive.

You will ideally have experience of:

• Working with care leavers or young people aged 18+.
• Managing a caseload and completing assessments, plans and reviews.
• Supporting young people towards independence.
• Multi-agency and partnership working.
• Safeguarding and working within relevant legislation, policies and procedures.
• Supporting young people around areas such as accommodation, education, employment, benefits and independent living.

Most importantly, you will be approachable, resilient, organised and committed to achieving positive outcomes for young people.

Why this role? This is more than simply managing a caseload. You'll have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with young people and provide the practical and emotional support that can make a genuine difference during a hugely important stage of their lives.

With several positions available, we are keen to hear from experienced professionals who are ready to bring their skills and commitment to a dedicated Leaving Care service in Birmingham.
