Extern provides a range of programmes including, Janus, Youth Support, Linx, Travellers’ Health and Travellers’ Employability. Our programmes aim to prevent the reception into care of young people, support community or foster placements and/or support young people returning to the community from residential care/custody.

A major part of Extern’s service provision involves intensive wraparound services to young people assessed as being in need, and offers a community based alternative to care. Planned and responsive overnights and residentials are integral to the services Extern provides to young people.

The programme is creative and dynamic, utilising local, regional and national resources to facilitate intervention strategies.

Service Managers will be required to manage all aspects of the programme in a flexible manner as part of a team. They will work in close partnership with statutory agencies, community resources and the young person’s family.

They will manage resources effectively and efficiently to meet the requirements of service level agreements with commissioning and funding organisations; and

Manage the delivery of services to the requirements of Extern’s standards of business conduct, including effective management of risk in the safeguarding of service users and families.
