The SHiFT Practice works with children and young people up to the age of 25 for whom things are getting worse, not better. SHiFT offers children an intensive, 18-month, needs and strengths-led, therapeutic relationship. Investing time enables SHiFT to create trust, build stability and provide consistency. Working as highly skilled, multidisciplinary teams of professionals, SHiFT gets alongside young people who are among the most vulnerable and causing the most harm to themselves and others. We start from wherever a young person is, working systemically with them, their family, friends, and community (including all statutory professionals in their lives) to develop high trust, culturally competent and strengths-driven relationships that catalyse pro-social change.
We know that change is difficult. We also know that young people in conflict with the law have complex and overlapping education, health, and social care needs, and that offending behaviours can mask significant and underlying vulnerabilities. Recognising this, SHiFT uses Breaking Cycles and commits to doing whatever it takes to break destructive cycles of harm and trauma. Unconstrained by age, geographic or professional boundaries, SHiFT starts with aspiration and belief in the young people in our care.
For the position of guide, we are looking for a highly skilled practitioner, with significant experience of working with adolescents. Whether your background is in social care, education, health, youth justice or the voluntary sector you will have experience of delivering successful change through evidence-based approaches with children and young people who present with a range of complex needs. You will be able to work flexibly and independently with limited management oversight. You will need to have outstanding communication and interpersonal skills and bring experience of working in a multi-disciplinary context.
