You’ll also need:

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills

• Strong organisational and case-management abilities
• Good written and record-keeping skills
• The ability to work independently while contributing effectively to a wider team
• A willingness to travel for regular home visits across Nottingham and the surrounding area

No formal qualification is required — relevant experience supporting children, young people or care leavers is the key requirement.
