• Experience of working to targets and recording information for performance monitoring

• An understanding of the client group and the challenges and motivations of young people

• Able to recognise the signs of child sexual exploitation (CSE) and take appropriate action

• Ability to set up and operate systems to monitor and report on work

• Excellent IT, interpersonal and communication skills, both verbal and written.

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. 

In return, you can expect a competitive salary, generous leave allowance, staff pension, flexible working, a mentoring programme, an advice and counselling service, clinical therapist sessions, life insurance (4 x annual salary), duvet days, season ticket loan, employee perks programme, eye care voucher and much more.

We are an equity and inclusion confident employer. We welcome all applications and we particularly encourage applications from people of the global majority (black, brown, multi- heritage) and those who identify as disabled, neuroexpansive, neurodiverse, with any protected characteristics and/or social barriers or challenges.

Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense. 

Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion: 

Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here. 

To be successful in this role, you will be a motivated, flexible individual, who is passionate about working with young people around their sexual health.

The postholder will conduct outreach, education, and training in several settings depending on the needs of different young people. These could be educational settings, youth settings, community events, sports settings, clubs and pubs. You will target vulnerable young people, such as looked-after children (LAC), those who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET), those who come from areas of high deprivation and high need, and those with other increased risk factors, as well as young people aged 13-15 who are not yet able to access online services.

As part of your frontline work, you will encourage young people to sign up for a C-card, and, if aged over 16, to register to Get it and order condoms and lube from the website. When appropriate, you will refer young people to appropriate local sexual health services for contraception, emergency contraception, pregnancy testing, STI screening and treatment.

You must be able to employ an appropriate and non-judgemental way of working with a variety of young people. You will welcome direction from the SWL Lead, as well as the broader team, but you will also be proactive in seeking new opportunities and mechanisms to deliver the scheme. With the support of your line manager, and with appropriate training, you will be responsible for safeguarding and child protection, ensuring young people under the age of 16 have been appropriately risk-assessed. You do not need to have existing sexual health knowledge to apply for this role, however, a desire and capacity to learn and to work in this field is essential.

exual and reproductive health training will be provided but the successful candidate must be comfortable talking about sexual health in 1:1 settings, as well as in small groups and to larger audiences.

You will also deliver high-quality sexual health education and training to young people and professionals alike via outreach and engagement activities. You will ensure that young people are supported in accessing their local contraceptive and sexual health services as needed.

We are proactively taking action to support EDI and Wellbeing to support our ethos of creating a diverse culture that is reflective of both our employees and the lived experience of all communities touched by cancer.

For over 40 years, The ClementJames Centre has been offering local people the skills, knowledge, opportunities and support they need to achieve their potential. We have come a long way in that time – from a straightforward homework club to a well established community support charity, transforming the lives of close to 3,000 people each year.

Our dedicated staff team is essential to the success of everything we do. Together, we work towards creating a fairer society where everyone is equipped with suitable skills and gets the opportunity to achieve their ambitions. We do this by providing high quality services driven by individual needs. Working at ClementJames will put you at the forefront of making positive social change, helping local children and adults to grow and succeed.

As part of our ambitious new Strategic Plan, we are committed to being an exemplar of high-quality, targeted support for people in our local community. While our core programmes focus on building employment skills, improving educational attainment, and resolving financial difficulties, we also recognise the importance of creating welcoming spaces where people feel connected, supported, and valued.

The Community Engagement Manager will play a key role in making this happen, ensuring our centre remains a thriving hub where clients can engage in activities that promote wellbeing, reduce isolation, and build social connections (sometimes over a simple coffee and biscuit!). This role will involve listening to and respecting the voices of the community to shape meaningful activities, building and maintaining partnerships with local organisations to maximise opportunities for engagement, working collaboratively with colleagues across employment support, advice and guidance, and youth education services to ensure a joined-up approach. Reporting to the Chief Programmes Officer, you will be central to creating a vibrant, inclusive community environment that supports people to thrive.

In 2024 ClementJames introduced a 9 day fortnight policy through which, staff members work 9 days over a fortnight and have a Friday off every other week. We introduced this as a way of prioritising staff wellbeing, and ensuring individuals have a strong work-life balance. This policy will apply to you.

If you believe that everyone should have the opportunity to realise their ambitions and live fulfilled lives and you would like to join a dynamic, innovative organisation, then The ClementJames Centre could be the perfect career choice for you.
