Lead Youth Worker

Adoption is a new lease of life for many young people. A chance to belong, to find their place and to feel secure.

But support goes far beyond this…

How would you feel if you could lead a programme of change? One that brings young, adopted people together to build confidence and self-esteem by removing isolation and further cementing their deserved place in society.
