Job description

Jigsaw4u are recruiting a Support Practitioner to join our specialised and experienced team.  

The Jigsaw4u Missing Young People Service is a statutory partnership with the London Borough of Sutton.  Once the missing persons unit has made a referral, the support worker will make efforts to engage the young person so that they can conduct a Return Home Interview to gain insight as to why the young person may have run away or ‘gone missing’.  These interviews can lead to individual support, working on the priorities identified during our assessments in order to reduce risk. 

We also offer advice and consultation to parents, carers and professionals on the issues these young people are experiencing and work closely with Children’s Social Care, Schools, parents and other professionals to reduce and ultimately cease missing episodes from taking place
