Would you like a fascinating, fast moving, fulfilling and flexible role?

If the answer is yes, then we are seeking to recruit an experienced Social Worker, Mental Health Nurse, or Occupational Therapist to join our established, successful and dynamic team as we consolidate and develop Liaison and Diversion Services in Police custody suites, Courts and Prisons across Kent and Medway.

Work with enthusiastic and passionate colleagues to provide an all age, all vulnerabilities service to clients in the Criminal Justice System. Make a real difference to people’s lives by identifying their support needs and encouraging them to engage with services that can help them.

Collaborate with a range of professionals across health, justice and social care to reduce reoffending and support safer communities.

The role of a Specialist Liaison and Diversion Practitioner (SLDP) is both an interesting and challenging one, where you will experience all aspects of the criminal justice system.

In essence, our SLDP's provide the crucial link between a variety of stakeholders and can make a real difference to the outcome of service users' experiences in the criminal justice system.

Come and work with us in the Garden of England where we combine exceptional professional development opportunities with a tremendous quality of life.
