The Targeted Support Programme is commissioned by Bath and North East Somerset Council (B&NES) to work with young people who would benefit from additional help to achieve positive outcomes, in accordance with the B&NES Early Help Strategy. The Programme supports young people with a range of issues affecting their lives including bullying, family issues, low level mental health difficulties and poor engagement in education, training, and employment. The Programme is delivered in a number of ways; sometimes by the sole agency, but often as part of a team around the young person, or by providing a contribution to a statutory plan.
You will work with young people aged between 13 – 19 (and up to 25 with a current EHCP) to identify their strengths, needs and aspirations and make assessments and plans that will support improved outcomes, taking full account of their family context. You will support young people with a range of issues affecting their lives including bullying, family issues, low level mental health difficulties and poor engagement in education, training, and employment.
