We are proud through this work, to be pioneering the use of clinical intervention alongside conventional youth work to support the underlying issue of poor mental health among both perpetrators and victims, an approach that has contributed to the delivery of often life changing outcomes for many of our young people.

This is a challenging but hugely rewarding role and one that will provide an opportunity for a talented youth work professional to develop even further, the impact of our work locally. Fundamental to your success in the role will be an unrivalled commitment to the lives of children and young people, supported by an in depth understanding of the multiple challenges that they face.
