Experience of working in a multi-disciplinary environment, ideally in an NHS setting. Sound knowledge of child and young people development. An understanding of the impact of serious illness for children, young people and their families. Excellent interpersonal skills. What will I gain? For people to reach their full potential, they need the right environment. As a member of Team Young Lives, you ll be made to feel supported, valued and appreciated.

This has never been acceptable to us as an organisation. We don t just accept difference, we value it, celebrate it, nurture it and we thrive because of it. We re on a journey to be reflective of the diverse children, young people and families we support.

We re on a journey to be reflective of the diverse children, young people and families we support.
