3 weeks ago

Sand, United Kingdom Peterborough City Council Full time

Are you looking for a new challenge working with young people and families to make a change in their lives?

This role is fixed term until 31.03.2025.

Peterborough City Council are pleased to announce, as part of recent government Turnaround funding, they are launching early intervention projects to divert young people away from offending.

The Diversionary Programme will assess, deliver interventions and divert young people, aged 8-17, who are not yet convicted or warned in relation to a criminal offence, but are identified as being at risk of offending in the future.

This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and motivated individual to be part of a new programme that is expected to last for 2 years. As the Diversionary Child and Family Worker, you will assess and provide intervention to young people who meet the criteria for the project. This work will involve engaging with both the young people and their families.

The Diversionary Programme aims to achieve the following:

- achieve positive outcomes for children with the ultimate aim of preventing them going

on to offend;
- build on work already done to ensure all children on the cusp of the youth justice

system are consistently offered a needs assessment and the opportunity for support;
- improve the socio-emotional, mental health and wellbeing of children; and
- improve the integration and partnership working between YOTs and other statutory

services to support children.

Training will be provided in areas such as motivational interviewing, Triple P parenting and trauma informed practice.

Interviews will be held on Friday 17th March 2023.

We are proud to serve the diverse communities of Peterborough and want our workforce to reflect this diversity, which we believe is beneficial for our employees, the organisation and the communities we serve.
