**Are you looking to make a real difference for young people?**

YISP offers targeted, time-limited interventions to young people who might be at risk of offending, increased risk of involvement with the criminal justice system and/or exploitation. This might be due to anti-social and behavioural concerns, knife crime, stealing, inappropriate sexual behaviour, peer-on-peer abuse or causing harm in the home or in their relationships. Children referred into the service may be experiencing mental health difficulties and display other risk factors, such as low self-esteem, difficulty managing feelings, body image and/or identity concerns and/or social isolation.

The postholder will deliver child-centred and trauma-informed interventions either one-to-one, or in groups to children and young people in a home, school, work or community setting. Based in Weston-Super-Mare with some home working opportunities, the post will involve travelling across the North Somerset Local Authority region.

**The successful applicant will be expected to**:

- Carry out assessments of young people using the YOS Health and Wellbeing assessment process, including risk assessment and action and planning.
- Independently case manage and deliver interventions to a range of young people and their families.
- Advocate for, organise and attend meetings with/on behalf of the young person to give them a voice.
- Record case notes and outcomes using the case management system (Child View) and other systems.
- Review progress and distance travelled for young people that you have worked with.
- Develop and manage a range of programmes/activities related to reducing or preventing offending behaviour and improving mental health.
- Work collaboratively with a range of partners e.g., schools/colleges, children’s services, community safety and the Police, engage with children and their families to build trusting, supportive relationships.

**About You**

You should be a highly effective negotiator and able to work confidently and innovatively within a multi-agency environment. You will bring enthusiasm and be able to establish credibility with a range of professionals who also work with the families. You must also have a passion for finding solutions, be up for a challenge and be prepared to try different ways of doing things to get results. You should be a reflective practitioner who demonstrates professional curiously and commitment when working with young people.

**You will need**:

- A professional qualification working with young people (e.g. social worker, teacher, probation officer, youth and community worker or healthcare) at degree level or equivalent.
- In-depth experience of direct work with young people who may be struggling with mental health difficulties and/or whose behaviour can be challenging or anti-social.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills including skills to assess and address attitudes, behaviour and need.
- To be competent in the use of ICT and various software systems.
