About St Giles Trust

St Giles Trust is a leading charity dedicated to empowering individuals facing adversity. We provide vital support and resources to help people overcome challenges such as criminal justice involvement, homelessness, addiction, and gang affiliation. Our core belief is that those with firsthand experience of these issues hold the key to positive change in others.

About This Role

As a Specialist Caseworker within our Emergency Department team at Newham Hospital, you will play a crucial role in supporting young people admitted to the hospital. You'll provide comprehensive assistance throughout their stay and ensure a smooth transition back into the community upon discharge.

Your Responsibilities

  • Offer peer support and guidance to the team, including deputizing for the Senior Caseworker when needed.
  • Collaborate with the Data Coordinator and Senior Caseworker to gather information and monitor project progress.
  • Develop and maintain a comprehensive resource of suitable onward referrals for young people.
  • Build strong relationships with clinicians, hospital staff, and other relevant services within the hospital, such as CAMHS, IDVA, and COMPASS.
  • Identify and assess young victims of violence, creating tailored support and risk management plans.
  • Provide ongoing support, advice, and advocacy to children, young people, and their families during their hospital stay and discharge planning.
  • Deliver a holistic support service, encompassing practical assistance such as social and housing support, appointment accompaniment, ETE options, benefits guidance, debt advice, and court representation.

What We're Looking For

  • Personal experience of the criminal justice system, lived experience of the challenges faced by this client group, or prior experience working with 'high-risk', vulnerable children.
  • Proven experience in providing support, advice, and advocacy to young people.
  • Extensive experience in assessing the needs of at-risk youth and developing effective intervention strategies.
  • Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively within a multi-agency team to achieve positive outcomes for young people.
  • Experience utilizing support plans to facilitate access to essential services for individuals in need.
  • Proven success in engaging with 'challenging' young people and building rapport.
  • Excellent IT, prioritization, interpersonal, and communication skills (both written and verbal).
  • A flexible, collaborative, and professional approach to your work.

As an organization committed to safeguarding the well-being of children and adults at risk, successful applicants will require an Enhanced Child and Adult with Child Barred DBS Check.

We strongly encourage individuals with personal experience of the criminal justice system or lived experience of the issues facing this client group to apply for this role.
