This post will require vetting to be able to work in a police station – NPPV2 Full Level.

Are you a driven, proactive and compassionate individual looking to make a significant difference to the lives of vulnerable children and young people? Have you had personal experience of the Criminal Justice System or a proven track record of engaging positively with young offenders or other vulnerable groups?

If so, St Giles is looking for a Caseworker to join their County Lines team, where you will play a pivotal role on our pioneering project.

About St Giles Trust

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.

County Lines is a phenomenon in which criminal drug dealing operations are expanding their operations outside of the larger cities, taking over drug markets in smaller towns. Gangs target vulnerable children and young people and coerce them to transport and distribute mainly Class A drugs into areas where there is less police presence, less competition and high demand for their product.

About this exciting opportunity

This pivotal role will see you referring clients, with reference to St Giles Trust/Rescue and Response assessment practices. You will also need to produce support plans and risk management and planning process, and to include appropriate agencies in the delivery of the service.

You will also deliver a holistic support service, working independently or with colleagues, which will include providing social and housing support, education, training and employment options, benefits work, debt advice, and appearing in court. Developing and maintaining strong relationships with regional agencies including police and social services is a key aspect of the 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 engaging successfully with ‘challenging’ young people
• Substantial experience of providing support, advice and advocacy and communicating effectively, the needs of clients to other professionals
• Strong IT skills, particularly MS Office, and the ability to work with a case database
• The ability to use and develop monitoring systems to record all aspects of the project
• Knowledge of and commitment to safeguarding practices and policies, and ability to promote safeguarding among vulnerable clients and colleagues.

In return, you can expect a competitive salary, generous leave allowance, staff pension, flexible working, a mentoring programme, an advice and counselling service, access to clinical supervision, season ticket loan 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, or neurodiverse, with any protected characteristics and/or social barriers or challenges. We value the empowering and informative impact that all lived experiences and diversity of thought can offer the organisation.

Please note St Giles will guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria set out in the Job Description for the vacancy.

Closing date: 17 November 2025 at 9 am. Interviews: 1st December 2025.

Join us and use your skills, knowledge, passion and energy to help us achieve a future free from arthritis.

Are you an organised, proactive individual who’s passionate about creating inclusive and meaningful opportunities for people with arthritis to get involved? Do you thrive on supporting others and ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes?

We’re looking for an Involvement Coordinator to join our Volunteering and Involvement team within the People and Culture Directorate. You’ll play a key role in coordinating our Involvement Network and Community Involvement Network, helping ensure activities are accessible, inclusive, and impactful for everyone taking part.

About the role

As an Involvement Coordinator, you’ll play a vital role in supporting two key communities: our Involvement Network and Community Involvement Network. 

You will work closely with colleagues across the organisation to help coordinate and deliver meaningful involvement opportunities, making sure they are accessible, inclusive, and delivered smoothly. Whether you’re managing day-to-day communications, responding to enquiries, organising activities, or maintaining accurate records, your efforts will ensure our involvement network members feel valued, supported, and engaged.

You will also help improve our systems and processes, advocate for more diverse representation in our networks, and contribute to our continuous improvement approach. A key part of your role will involve supporting and strengthening our Community Involvement Network, working directly with people and communities who are often underrepresented, to ensure their voices are heard and their experiences help shape the direction of our work. 

This role offers the chance to work across teams, build strong relationships, and make a real difference in how people with arthritis influence the services, campaigns, and decisions that impact their lives.

About you

If you're passionate about supporting underrepresented communities and want to help shape positive experiences for people living with arthritis, we’d love to hear from you. We are looking for someone who:

• Is highly organised with strong administrative and coordination skills.
• Communicates confidently and builds great relationships.
• Can manage data and keep accurate records.
• Understands the importance of inclusion and accessibility.
• Works well with internal teams and external stakeholders.
• Brings energy, empathy, and a commitment to our values: United, Compassionate, Inclusive, and Brave.

*As a hybrid worker the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings. As an inclusive employer we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability.

Benefits

Your excellent benefits include:

• Flexible hours, environments and working practices to promote a healthy work/life balance.
• Health and wellbeing support – including the Employee Assistance Programme (free confidential 24/7 support with mental health, legal and financial queries).
• Simplyhealth cash plan.
• Supportive and inclusive culture, with a wide range of employee networks and support groups available to join.
• Learning and personal development opportunities.
• Competitive annual leave, with the option to buy/sell up to five days per year.
• Generous pension plan, with employer contribution of up to 10%.
• Life Assurance plan (4 x salary).

You must be based in, and hold the right to work in the UK to apply for this position.
