Role Summary

The Early Intervention and Diversion Key Worker role is a new MoJ funded post which will work within both our Sheffield women's centre, the Sheffield courts and police custody suites, providing early intervention as women enter the criminal justice system, to divert them away from custody and into support services.


You will work with women to help them build upon their strengths and work through any barriers that are preventing them from progressing and achieving their potential.


The Keyworker will:


1)
Provide support to women in custody suites: identifying immediate and crisis needs and undertaking actions to address these; liaising with arresting officers to promote the use of conditional cautions, which can be delivered in our Centres (where suitable); accompanying women to any immediate appointments after their discharge from police custody; providing family liaison and support, and referrals to relevant support services (e.g.

substance misuse, local authority housing, peer mentoring).


2)
Provide interventions/activities for women who have been served conditional cautions (frequency and attendance will be determined in partnership with the police during service implementation): engaging and enrolling women with broader services available in our Centres, including potentially external courses or signposting to relevant organisations; liaising and sharing information with police on progress and outcomes.


3)
Support women at court appearances: providing advocacy on behalf of women (including to enable progress and engagement with services), providing information to criminal justice professionals to feed into pre-sentence reports (including advising on alternative solutions to custodial sentences), providing family support and contact, and liaising with children's/adult services and legal representatives.

4)
Sentencer engagement:in agreement and partnership with Probation Services, we will contribute to Magistrates' liaison events, demonstrating the benefits of Women's Centres, providing case studies and success stories and progress reports where women have been sentenced to a community alternative to custody.

5)
Support women to avoid further custodial sentences:where women are sentenced to custody, we will be available to provide family support and information, and notify our Centre in HMP New Hall to ensure a member of the team visits the woman during her induction and supports her engagement with our services and pre-release support.

Key Accountabilities
Working within the Women's Criminal Justice Team in the Women's Centre, you will be proactive, organised, personable and empathic.

You will need to be able to work effectively both independently and as part of in person and virtual teams, sometimes under pressure to meet challenging deadlines.

You will be responsible for a caseload of clients to whom you will provide high quality, trauma-informed and person-centred support by:
