Are you a highly organised, collaborative and compassionate individual with direct or indirect experience of the criminal justice system?  Do you have a proven record of supporting young people involved in, or at risk of, entry into the Criminal Justice System?

If so, join St Giles as our Mentor/Facilitator, where you will combine your lived experience of overcoming similar barriers to the client group and your professional experience to provide crucial guidance, support and mentorship to targeted at-risk young people, already within or at high risk of entering the criminal justice system.

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

As Mentor/Facilitator, your focus will be to oversee the delivery of a vital Mentor Programme to targeted at risk students and young people up the age of 25 years and to establish and maintain positive relationships with each young person to provide emotional support, guidance and mentorship.  You will be expected to address each individual’s needs and challenges, utilising personal experiences, local knowledge, professional skills and St Giles’ materials to offer support and intervention, while also assisting each young person with setting and achieving academic, personal, and career goals.

We will count on you to collaborate with professionals to support and develop strategies to minimise the risk to young people and to maintain a trauma informed approach, that recognises and responds to trauma and amplifies the voices and experiences of individuals.  Developing positive, pro-social attitudes, behaviour and social skills among those you mentor and supporting and/or co-delivering whole school awareness and professional sessions are also key aspects of the role.

Sound knowledge of the challenges and issues facing vulnerable young people An understanding and demonstration of professional standards and accountability Experience of working collaboratively with multi-agency partners Excellent record keeping and good technical literacy of Microsoft Applications A commitment to excellent safeguarding practice Excellent interpersonal, relationship-building and communication skills, verbal and written A flexible, collaborative and professional approach to your work Full Driving Licence and your own transport.
