Job Introduction
Fixed term position until 31 st March 2025 with possibility of permanent position
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a passionate, proactive and credible individual to work within a project to tackle violence and knife crime in young people in Leicestershire.
Based within Euston Street Police Custody Suite as well as at Leicester Royal Infirmary and run by Turning Point the project will intervene and engage with young people who come into hospital with injuries caused through knife crime or other related violence. You will engage with these vulnerable young people at this key opportunity to help make a difference and support them to move away from violence towards safer, healthier more productive lives. You must be able to show empathy and forge a connection with people who are at their lowest ebb, then back it up with the ability to create strong, trusting relationships that support people to access the help they need. You will provide mentoring beyond the young persons hospital stay, linking them into other agencies who can support them longer term.
Role Responsibility
The role will be based within Euston Street Police Custody Suite as well as at Leicester Royal Infirmary, but you may be required to work across other University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust (UHL) sites and you will also run outreach, meeting young people after their discharge from hospital anywhere in Leicestershire County, Leicester City and Rutland County. Willingness and flexibility to travel across the county is therefore essential. To maximise opportunities to engage the project will have a presence in the hospital between 9am and 10pm 7 days a week. Shift working and ability to work weekends and flexibly of working hours is absolutely essential for this role.
If people describe you as; level headed, a listener, compassionate, patient, a great communicator, hard worker, resilient, dedicated, great in a crisis and you have the energy and commitment to always go the extra mile to support people effectively then we would like to hear from you. We are particularly keen to hear from individuals who have had previous involvement with the criminal justice system or with lived experience of the challenges these vulnerable young people are going through to act as a credible role model to young people engaged with this project.
A driving licence and car access is desirable but flexibility in travel across the county is essential.
