Redthread Overview
Redthread is a hospital based youth work service, working alongside NHS staff and other professionals in emergency departments. Our experienced, specialist youth workers engage with and support young people, aiming to reduce serious youth violence. Redthread supports young people aged 11-25 years old, who are victims of/at risk of serious youth violence and/or exploitation. We often meet young people at a moment of change and work with them to find a positive way forward. We provide long‑term, holistic support. We consider every aspect of a young person's life and build support around them.
Counsellor Role
The Counsellor will work as part of the youth work team within the Youth Violence Intervention Programme delivered in Birmingham health care settings.

They will provide therapeutic interventions to young people who have been victims of or impacted by violence and provide an in‑house counselling service for young people working with Redthread.

About Catch22
Catch22 exists to help build a society where everyone has a good place to live, good people around them, and a fulfilling purpose. We call these our '3Ps'. We achieve this in two ways. First, we improve lives on the frontline through delivery of public services. Secondly, we use our knowledge to change 'the system', to fix the complex web that can trap and disempower those it was set up to help. With the heart of a charity and the mindset of a business, we are uniquely placed to deliver on this challenging agenda. In August 2024, Redthread became part of the Catch22 group. Both organisations share strongly aligned missions and values, and we have a successful history of collaboration. Redthread will continue to operate under its established brand.
