Welcome to Our Place,
Do you enjoy working with young people? Are you creative, flexible and go the extra mile to ensure that you deliver a service that is good enough for your child? Are you a strong advocate who wants to ensure that young people have someone standing in their corner supporting and advocating for them? Now in our third year of operation, we have a range of job opportunities for you.
Due to the promotion of our manager, we are seeking a registered manager to lead our exciting and innovative service. We also have opportunities for residential key workers and portfolio leads
Our Place is a creative and flexible service that works with the most vulnerable young people and their families. Originally, North Yorkshire County Council developed the model known as No Wrong Door, but was renamed Our Place by our young people. The model drives our approach to provide multi-agency support to young people aged nine plus who are in care, on the edge of care or edging towards care, with the goal of providing permanence in a family setting.
We use relational and restorative approaches to ensure we are working with young people, listening to be sure we understand and working at young people’s pace to support them to thrive and achieve their full potential.
The service is based in the Our Place Hub and provides
A residential component, (rated good by Ofsted in February 2025)
A responsive and flexible outreach support
Bespoke packages of care
The service is delivered through a multidisciplinary team, managed by a Practice manager who is the registered manager of the residential Hub. The service consists of two deputy managers, key workers and portfolio leads (key workers with additional responsibility)who support young people and their families both in the hub and by outreach work in the community,
What makes the service truly multi-disciplinary is that we have a Clinical Psychologist (life coach), Speech and Language Therapist (communication worker), Police officer Hub foster carers and higher needs supported lodgings carers, Data Analyst and Business support and embedded in the team.
The Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects staff to share this commitment.
