Birmingham, United Kingdom Redthread Remote Work Freelance Full time

Thank you for considering a Youth Violence Intervention Practitioner role with Redthread. We are a team of compassionate, collaborative and courageous professionals committed to empowering young people to change their lives.  

Please check out our website for more information on the services we provide and learn more about us, including our commitment to safeguarding, equity, diversity and inclusion. 

As a Youth Intervention Practitioner working on our Youth Violence Intervention Programme in Birmingham, you will work across two hospital sites – Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QE) and Heartlands Hospital (HH). The role is primarily based at QE day to day and will visit and take referrals from the other sites on a regular basis. 

As a Youth Intervention Practitioner based in the A&E departments you will support young people who are experiencing trauma or tragedy and their families. You’ll be part of a team that is fully embedded in the hospital and that is highly valued by clinicians and community partners alike.

To do this well you need to be a people person; passionate about supporting young people, and excited at the prospect of working in a fast-paced and exceptionally busy environment. You’ll need a proven ability to work with high risk, vulnerable young people and an understanding of the impact intense, short-term work can have.You must be a strong communicator: as comfortable building a relationship with a young person as you are liaising with our clinical colleagues. Experience working with young people experiencing exploitation, violence, mental health, substance misuse and other areas of need, is advantageous but full training will be provided. You’ll be keen to keep learning, seizing training opportunities at Redthread and continuously reflecting upon and improving your practice.

In return, the successful candidate will receive a competitive salary, a supportive and flexible working environment, excellent staff training and development package and access to a range of employee benefits including access to enhanced employee assistance programme services, employer pension scheme contribution, enhanced annual leave and family leave entitlements and more. As this role requires an NHS honorary contract, as well as Redthread benefits, you’ll also have unique access to generous NHS discounts and blue light schemes too.
