Are you a proactive, compassionate and collaborative individual with a proven record of working and engaging positively with females and/or young people who are/or are at risk of offending, or other vulnerable groups?  Do you have experience of providing support, advice and advocacy and the ability to assess a client’s needs?

If so, St Giles Trust is looking for a highly motivated Youth Engagement Outreach Worker to join our Young Women and Girls Outreach Service, which takes provision onto the streets of Scarborough to engage with ‘hard to reach’ young women and girls.  This will involve building trusted relationships and offering person-centred support to each client to help them to be safe, move away from offending/anti-social behaviours and take positive choices.

Delivering a holistic support service, working independently or with colleagues as the situation dictates, is also a key element of this role, which will involve providing a support service that will include confidence building and self-awareness along with interventions aimed at preventing criminal and sexual exploitation, grooming, violence, sharing inappropriate media content.
