Lancashire County Council is looking for a passionate and committed Personal Advisor to join our Children's Social Care Leaving Care Service based in Preston. This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of care experienced young people as they transition into adulthood and independent living.

As a Personal Advisor, you will work with young people aged 15¾ to 25, ensuring they receive the right support, at the right time, to help them achieve positive outcomes and reach their full potential.

About the Role

Working as part of the Leaving Care Service, you will:

  • Hold a caseload of care experienced young people and provide tailored support based on their individual needs.
  • Coordinate, contribute to and review Pathway Plans to support successful transitions into adulthood.
  • Advocate for young people, helping them understand and access their rights, entitlements and available support.
  • Support young people to access education, employment, training, housing, health services and financial assistance.
  • Work in partnership with families, carers, colleagues and multi-agency professionals to improve outcomes for young people.
  • Promote resilience, independence, participation and positive life opportunities.

Our Vision

Through this role, you will help us achieve our key objectives:

  • Ensuring vulnerable children and young people are safe from harm and able to build resilience.
  • Supporting children and young people to achieve their full potential in education, learning and employment.
  • Promoting healthy lifestyles and wellbeing.
  • Ensuring children, young people and families have a voice in shaping the support they receive.
  • Helping children and young people enjoy a positive quality of life and thrive within Lancashire.

What We're Looking For

We are seeking candidates who have:

  • Experience working with vulnerable young people or care leavers.
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Knowledge of relevant legislation, including the Children Act 1989, Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000 and associated guidance.
  • The ability to work independently whilst contributing positively to a team environment.
  • A commitment to promoting equality, inclusion and the voice of the young person.

What We Offer

In return, Lancashire County Council offers:

  • A supportive and collaborative working environment.
  • Professional development and career progression opportunities.
  • Access to a comprehensive benefits package, including pension scheme, flexible working opportunities and wellbeing support.
  • The opportunity to make a lasting difference to the lives of young people across Lancashire.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
