**Youth Engagement and Wellbeing Worker**

**25 hours per week Monday to Friday**
- Salary £28,000 pa full time equivalent (actual salary will be pro rata £19,444 pa for 25 hours pw). Plus occasional on call responsibilities on a rota basis for which an additional shift allowance will be paid._

Working in our community-based outreach service you will develop, deliver, evaluate and maintain an effective education and a youth engagement programme to actively and positively engage with young people in order to improve life outcomes and reduce the risk of them engaging in abusive relationships.

Using existing strong links with schools and community groups you will offer programmes to children and young people, such as ‘Escape the Trap’, to raise awareness and develop understanding of the dynamics of coercive and controlling behaviours, including sexual coercion, at an early stage in their experience of intimate relationships.

Working therapeutically, both on a one-to-one basis and in small groups, you will be supporting young people in their recovery from their experience of domestic abuse, helping them to recognise the impact of abusive behaviours on their emotional and mental health, strengthening their confidence and enabling them to make healthier relationship choices.

You must have:

- experience of supporting children and young people who have been affected by domestic abuse or other trauma, including undertaking risk assessments, preparing safety plans and working on a multi-agency basis.
- a well organised, professional and flexible approach to your work with a calm and re-assuring manner.
- a strong understanding of child development and the developmental changes that influence adolescent thinking and behaviours.
- a dynamic and creative approach to developing and delivering services.
- a full driving licence and car that can be used for work purposes.

Your Sanctuary offers training opportunities, 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata for part-time employees), a contributory pension scheme, clinical supervision, an employee assistance programme, and a supportive and engaging workplace. This post is for 25 hours per week Monday to Friday with some flexibility on working hours.

Successful applicants will need to live within a 45 minutes driving distance from our offices in Woking and be able to undertake emergency on-call duties as part of a rota for which there is additional shift pay (rota shared between all frontline staff).
