Our work includes unsocial hours on weekday evenings, weekends and bank holidays. This post will cover Wembley and Colindale police custody suite and Willesden Magistrate's Court.

Main duties of the job

To act as an autonomous practitioner in court and police detention cells. The post holder will also be expected to assess an individual's mental state and risk and within the context of the alleged offence and the criminal justice system, implement a care pathway for each individual.

The post holder will maintain a presence on the site they are working for the duration of their shift in order to be able to respond to referrals in a timely manner. It is the post holder's responsibility to check regularly if there is anyone to be seen in custody.

This will involve engaging with the young person and at times their guardians and depending on the screening outcomes, may involve making onward referrals including safeguarding, youth offending teams and CAMHS.
