Full time/Part Time (flexible days/hours, some evening and weekend work)
Fixed Term Contract until 31 March 2026
Location: Based over two hospitals, Bedford and Luton & Dunstable.
Ref EDNE-255
Are you a flexible, empathetic and collaborative individual with substantial experience of providing support, advice, and advocacy and communicating effectively the needs of clients to other professionals? Do you have a proven record of assessing the needs of vulnerable young people who are at high risk of significant harm?
If so, St Giles is looking for an Emergency Department Navigator to join our team and provide vital support for those young people admitted to the hospital right through to their safe discharge back into the community and ensuring that they have access to appropriate longer-term support.
About St Giles Trust
An ambitious, well-established charity that helps people facing adversity to find jobs, homes and the right support they need. Central to our ethos is our belief that people with first-hand experience of successfully overcoming issues such as an offending background, homelessness, addictions and gang involvement, hold the key to positive change in others.
About This Exciting Opportunity
Working as an integral part of the ED Navigator team, our successful candidate will identify and assess young victims of violence and provide a comprehensive and holistic assessment, advice, referral and support service, exploring innovative and effective ways of supporting them which will reduce their risk of re-victimisation.
You will produce support and risk management plans based on assessments, promoting inter-agency collaboration in the assessment and planning process, and deliver a holistic support service, working solo or with colleagues as the situation dictates, which will include providing practical help such as social and housing support, accompanying to appointments, ETE options and appearing in court. We will also count on you to develop and maintain relationships with partner agencies and to close cases efficiently and positively, identifying a referral route for the client that will identify agencies that can be used for ongoing support.
What we are looking for:
* Personal experience of the criminal justice system, lived experience of the issues facing this client group and/or experience of working with ‘high risk’, vulnerable children, young people and/or families
* Experience in working as part of a multi-agency team
* Experience of using support plans, to enable people to successfully access support services
* Substantial experience of engaging successfully with ‘challenging’ young people
* To have a relevant qualification to a good standard or be working towards one
* A knowledge of relevant services for young people and their families in the service provision area
* First-class interpersonal, relationship-building and communication skills, both verbal and written.
Successful candidates must undergo an Enhanced DBS check, on the basis that the post involves contact with vulnerable participants and colleagues.
In return, you can expect a competitive salary, generous leave allowance, staff pension, flexible working, a mentoring programme, an advice and counselling service, clinical therapist sessions, life insurance (4 x annual salary), duvet days, season ticket loan, employee perks programme, eye care voucher and much more.
We are an equity and inclusion confident employer. We welcome all applications and we particularly encourage applications from people of the global majority (black, brown, multi- heritage) and those who identify as disabled, neuroexpansive, neurodiverse, with any protected characteristics and/or social barriers or challenges. We value the empowering and informative impact that all lived experiences and diversity of thought can offer the organisation.
St Giles will guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria set out in the Job Description for the vacancy.
Closing Date: 15th September 2025 at 9:00am.
Interview Date: 22nd September 2025.
