You will combine lived experience of overcoming similar barriers to the client group and their professional experience to provide crucial guidance, support, and mentorship to children and young people who are being, or at high risk of being exploited.

Through 1:1 mentoring, you will ensure children and young people are equipped to think critically, assess risk, and make better life choices. You will also support them to overcome personal challenges and achieve personal goals. The resulting mindset shift and confidence makes them more resilient to the risks of becoming involved with substance misuse and/or supply; gangs; exploitation and violence.

We positively encourage applications if you have had personal adverse experiences that make you and 'expert by experience'. This could include experience of the criminal justice system, having served a prison sentence, experience of gang involvement, county lines and criminal exploitation.

• Assist children and young people in setting and achieving personal life goals.


• Collaborate with professionals to support and develop strategies to minimise the risk to young people.


• Maintain a trauma informed approach, that recognises and responds to trauma and amplifies the voices and experiences of children and young people.


• Develop positive, pro-social attitudes, behaviour and social skills with children and young people.


• Safeguard, protect and promote the welfare of children and young people.


• Provide guidance on resolving interpersonal issues.


• Maintain open and effective communication with mentees, professionals, parents/careers and partners.


• Maintain accurate records (including case notes and engagement data) of interactions, progress, and outcomes in line with St Giles delivery protocols.


• Use data to assess the effectiveness of interventions and make adjustments as needed.


• Support in the collation of evaluative data (in line with project protocols).


• Promote inclusivity and equity in your role.


• Attend relevant training and workshops to enhance mentoring skills and professional knowledge.

Person Specification:


• Relevant direct or indirect experience of the criminal justice system or lived experience of the issues facing the client group (i.e. involved in gangs, county lines and/or knife crime). (A)


• Experience of working positively with socially excluded children, young people or adults and able to engage successfully despite 'challenging' behaviour. (A)


• Knowledge of the challenges and issues facing vulnerable young people. (A)


• Understanding and demonstration of professional standards and accountability.


• Empathetic and understanding attitude toward young peoples' needs. (A)

In your application, please demonstrate how you meet the person specification criteria marked with (A)
