Mansfield, United Kingdom YMCA Robin Hood Group Full time

The YMCA Robin Hood group provides temporary supported accommodation for young people, refugees, unaccompanied asylum seekers and children leaving care across Mansfield.

We are recruiting for a Trauma Informed Youth Engagement Worker to support engagement within our 16+ services, through a trauma informed approach to young people across our Mansfield and Ashfield 16+ services.

You will passionately share in our belief that everyone should have a fair chance to discover who they are and what they can become.

This is a brand new role to our service and one we are incredibly excited to be able to provide additional support and care to the young people we work with.

The purpose of this role is to support engagement within our 16+ services, through a trauma informed approach.

Leading on developing a resident participation agenda and involvement strategy is key to this, to ensure that everyone has fair opportunity to participate.

Furthermore, leading on the development of a residents forum will enable our young people to have a voice in the services they receive.

We are looking for someone to devise an activities programme to encourage meaningful use of time, develop a financial inclusion strategy to support residents to maximise their income, address the underlying barriers to obtaining meaningful employment and devise workshops to overcome them.

Through developing a holistic engagement strategy, with focus on mind, body and spirit, we can best serve the young people who live in our homes.

**About You**

You will have experience of delivering youth work to vulnerable young people developing engagement and activity programs for young people, ideally in a trauma informed environment.

Through experience or studies, you will have knowledge of developing trauma informed approaches as well as a good understanding of the needs of young people, their housing rights, support services available and associated legislation.

A professional qualifications such as NVQ Level 2 in Housing and Social Care would be preferred but we are happy to support you work towards this qualification and any other qualifications you were interested in persuing.

Through your approach and communication style, you will be able to demonstrate an empathetic, professional and person-centred approach, in relation to issues pertaining to rough sleepers and homeless people with multiple and complex needs.

You will also have the ability to manage and deal with conflict and diffuse difficult situations with confidence. Whether internal collagues or external stakeholders, you will be able to establish and maintain effective working partnerships for the benefit of the young people you work with.

Within this role, you will be supported by our appointed consultant Forensic Psychologist who supports all of the children and young people in our care who may have experience trauma. In working with her and her team, you will also get support, development and the opportunity to expand your knowledge, experience and techniques. There is huge scope within this role for it to expand and develop as we absolutely believe in the benefits of trauma informed therapeutic practice.

If you are looking to work for an organisation who cares about you and your wellbeing, the YMCA prides itself on the package of wellbeing we support all our employees.

At YMCA Robin Hood Group, you will have many additional benefits, including but not limited to:

- Comprehensive well-being package
- Cash-back private medical and dental policy
- Generous holiday entitlement increasing 1 day each year for your first 5 years
- Regular ongoing training
- Subsidised childcare and holiday clubs
- Workplace pension
- Pastoral support
- Excellent opportunities for development and progression in an exciting expanding organisation.
