Overview
The Young Peoples Support team offers a preventative service for young people who face worrying risks to their safety and well-being. The aim is to work with young people and their families, supporting them to build positive family and peer relationships so they can thrive in their adolescent years and in their transition to adulthood.
Working alongside the Youth Justice Service you will deliver targeted intervention and support packages to young people. This is usually at the pivotal point where they are facing a permanent or fixed term exclusion from school or managed move due to reasons associated with youth violence, exploitation, or other vulnerabilities.
This is for a limited term contract for one year.
What will you be doing?

- Where required, you will provide mediation, advice and guidance between the young person and the school.
- It will be your responsibility to ensure that records and reports are maintained in accordance with service guidelines.
- You will undertake assessments to determine the best intervention needed.
