- **Overview**

We’re looking for an enthusiastic Hospital-Based Youth Mentor to join our growing team at SMASH SMASH exists to empower young people to be their best self by increasing their confidence, improving relationships and increasing engagement in healthy and positive activities. We’ve been doing this for 25 years and would love you to join us on the adventure.

We are looking for a self-motivated, enthusiastic and organised person who will take a leading role in the development and delivery of our hospital-based youth work and the mentoring of young people frequently presenting at hospital. If you are the ideal person we’re looking for, you are a person who loves listening. You feel comfortable supporting people at their time of need. You are self-motivated and enthusiastic and you enjoy taking initiative within your area of work. You get great satisfaction from seeing people and projects that help make life easier for young people flourish. You’re well organised, great at communicating - both verbally and in writing, as skilled at building rapport with a range of people. You’re resilient and great at problem-solving - you treat problems like puzzles and look at them from all angles to find the best solution. You are looking to continually develop your work through conversation, supportive challenge and collaboration. You are comfortable working in a fast moving, values-driven organisation with an innovative spirit, which means that you won’t always have all the information or answers when starting out. You’ll be able to live in the tension of needing to be organised in a changing landscape.

For our part, we will be a charity that you love being part of, offering you all the support and encouragement you need to not just do the job well, but flourish as a person. How we care for our team really matters to us, and this will reflect in how this job looks and how we look after you.

We are deliberately advertising this post beyond our own network because we hope we’ll find applicants with a diverse range of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. We value diversity in all forms and we believe that increased diversity will only make our charity better.

**Job Purpose**

To place Youth Workers in the Emergency Department (ED) and in children and adult wards within Salisbury hospital, playing a crucial role in supporting Children and Young People (CYP) aged 11-25 years who present at ED, those admitted to the Children and Adult wards and those with Life Long Conditions, displaying low -medium level mental health issues/concerns/needs. The Youth Workers will adopt a holistic, compassionate and trauma informed approach, having the time and experience to begin to forge trusting relationships with CYP. The role will involve face to face and virtual support (using secure and safe virtual platforms) and will act as a link to longer term support available in the local community.

Your role will establish trust with young people who arrive at Salisbury Hospital. When in the hospital, there is an opportunity for the young person to reflect and be open to intervention. This moment may assist in redirecting the young person back into the community via a different pathway. Your role will build trust, support them through understanding positive change, and then work with them to build a referral to ongoing services in the community to connect them with a local support agency/charity that would best meet their needs, building resilience, and providing mentoring to prevent repeat occurrences that could lead to their hospitalisation. Once the Mentor has gained the young person's trust and agreement, they will prepare an assessment and referral form that includes the type of difficulties, services available for referral, and the type of communication the client prefers.

The role will include working at times when the hospital would value our presence, including regular evening and weekend sessions. The role will involve coordinating and undertaking all aspects of the service offered, including handling referrals, session preparation and delivery monitoring and evaluation. The post-holder will represent SMASH externally in the course of their work.

**Main Duties**
- To champion SMASH’s vision and values through facilitating excellent hospital-based mentoring and professional 1to1 mentoring sessions in the community, aimed at supporting young people to make healthy choices that reduce readmission.

**Specific Duties**
- Work within a busy hospital departments including A&E, Medical Assessment Unit (MAU) and Childrens and Adult wards.
