Northwick Park Hospital, Harrow 

Ref code: SYV-201

Are you a proactive, compassionate and engaging individual with a proven record of working successfully with ‘high risk’ vulnerable young people? Then join St Giles as a Senior Caseworker and you will be embarking on a highly rewarding and career-enhancing position.

About St Giles 

An ambitious, well-established charity that helps people facing adversity to find jobs, homes and the right support they need. Central to our ethos is our belief that people with first-hand experience of successfully overcoming issues such as an offending background, homelessness, addictions and gang involvement, hold the key to positive change in others. 

St Giles is expanding its delivery of hospital-based projects; this service is aimed at vulnerable 12 to 25-year-olds who attend the adult or paediatric emergency department or Urgent Care Centre at Northwick Park Hospital. We will work alongside hospital staff to proactively identify vulnerable young people and help them to access and engage the support they need to prevent any potential escalation of violence and reduce the risk of repeat victimisation or exploitation.

About this key role

You will be embedded into the hospital, providing support for those young people admitted to emergency departments right through to their discharge back into the community. You will have experience of working with ‘high risk,’ vulnerable young people, be part of a multidisciplinary team, and have a flexible, empathetic approach to your work. 

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

What we are looking for:

• Personal experience of the criminal justice system, lived experience of the issues facing this client group and/or experience of working with ‘high risk’, vulnerable children, young people and/or families 

• Experience of assessing risk and implementing safety procedures when thinking about children and young people involved in or at risk of violence or exploitation 

• Proven experience of working in a high intensity environment, with an ability to effectively manage your own wellbeing 

• Experience of engaging successfully with ‘challenging’ young people, for example people who have complex needs, people who are reluctant to discuss their needs, and people who are angry and confused

In return, you can expect a competitive salary, generous leave allowance, staff pension, access to clinical supervision flexible working, a mentoring programme, an advice and counselling service, season ticket loan and much more.

Closing date: 11pm, 11th June 2020

Interview date: 16th June (please note we are only able to interview on this date). Shortlisted candidates may be interviewed via video due to the current social distancing measures.

Providence Row works with more than a thousand homeless and vulnerably housed people a year in East London, offering an integrated service of crisis support, advice, recovery and learning and training programmes.  Our aim is to ensure that people who are so often excluded from mainstream services gain the support and opportunities they need to create a safe, healthy and sustainable life away from the streets.

This acclaimed project between Providence Row and the Royal London Hospital prevents patients from being discharged from hospital back onto the streets.

The project has been instrumental in reducing A&E and hospital readmissions for this group alongside sustainment of accommodation.
