An exciting opportunity has arisen within North Lanarkshire to be part of a team working in partnership North Lanarkshire Alcohol and Drug Partnership and North Lanarkshire council to provide support to young people who are either currently, or at risk of being, in conflict with the law.
- The service aims to:

- Provide early help and intervention to divert and prevent young people from entering the criminal justice system.
- Support young people (and their families) already in conflict with the law to navigate processes, systems and agencies, and support them to move away from criminality and undertake positive activities.
- Rebuild fractured relationships within the family unit.
- Work with the wider work force to promote a trauma informed response and understanding of underlying causes of criminality.
- Improve lives of children, young people and families.

Referrals may be received from anywhere in North Lanarkshire including self-referrals and referrals from family members. The service will be available 7 days a week and will include evenings and weekends.
- Safeguarding and child protection
- Promise framework,
- UNCRC legislation
- Contextual safeguarding

We are advertising a 22hour PW2 post. Applicants should have the flexibility to work a rota which includes evenings and weekends. A valid driving license and access to own transport for the purposes of work is essential to the role.
- As part of our commitment, we will offer the following:

- excellent learning and development opportunities,

Pay & Reward Framework
- We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's _values_.
