LEAP SS supports children and young people in need, with the aim to empower independence, ambition, and positive relationships. LEAP support workers provide strengths-focussed support, which can include mentoring, transport, supervised contact visits, in home support and overnight crisis support.

**About the role**

LEAP SS provides a rewarding experience to mentor and support children and young people. LEAP prides itself on putting a focus on relationships so when workers come on board, we want to get to know your interests and skills so that we can match up your personality with appropriate children/young people that you will enjoy supporting.
