Cirv Volunteer Mentor

1 week ago

Coventry, Coventry, United Kingdom St Giles Trust Full time

Job Summary:

Are you a dynamic, collaborative and creative individual with a proven record of engaging positively with young people vulnerable groups and families? Do you have experience of providing support, advice and advocacy and the ability to assess clients' needs?


If so, join St Giles Trust as
a Community Violence Volunteer Mentor working on our CIRV service, supporting young people, adults who have been or at high risk of being affected by violence offending and or exploitation.

About St Giles Trust and Community Initiative to Reduce Violence (CIRV). 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.


The Community Initiative to Reduce Violence (CIRV) is a pilot service running across Wolverhampton and Coventry which seeks to engage children, young people and adults at risk who are within the criminal justice system due to criminality and violence and provide them with effective interventions to reduce the risk of reoffending and violence.


CIRV project is run through the Violence Reduction Unit and is a collaboration between West Midlands Police and a variety of agencies, including St Giles Trust.

The service is for children and young people aged 14 years and older that are at risk of, or are experiencing, group-based violence and exploitation.

St Giles Trust mentors will engage and support these young people and when their risk of violence has reduced, the young person will work with a volunteer mentor before exiting the service.


About this key role

Our CIRV Volunteer Mentor will engage and support young people, adults, and families once they have been identified as being involved in a violence-related incident, being at risk of exploitation or gang-affiliated and build positive relationships with the clients and their families, plus work directly with them in order to promote positive change, build resilience, and prevent young people from experiencing significant harm.

As a mentor, you will be non-judgmental, reliable and respectful of the young person's autonomy.

You are not there to tell them what to do, your role is to explore options with them, support them to make good decisions and act as a transfer of trust between the young person and other agencies.


What we expect from you:

  • To strive for the best that you can do and complete your volunteering activities with dedication and commitment
  • To attend any briefings and training that we think will help you in your placement
  • Be positive about and support the work of St Giles
  • Follow and operate within the policies and procedures of the organisation, including Health and Safety and Equal Opportunities
  • Act responsibly and within the law
  • Maintain confidentiality of St Giles activity, our clients, our team and our procedures
  • Value and respect the rights of clients
  • Work in partnership with staff and volunteers to make society a better place for our beneficiaries
  • Let your volunteer manager know if you are having any problems or if you have any complaints, concerns or feedback
In return you will be introduced to how our organisation works and your role within it. Give information about St Giles work, policies, and procedures. Offer training, group supervision and support. Deliver a Level 2 Mentoring qualification.
