The role will be community-based and client-led and will involve significant partnership working within the local area to enable you to offer a whole system approach to overcoming barriers and empowering the service user to make better life choices

You will be part of a comprehensive service delivering Wonder+ across Norfolk, representing St Giles Trust, being mindful of and promoting the organisation’s Vision, Mission, Values, and strategic aims at all times.

St Giles is an award-winning social justice charity using expertise and real-life past experiences to empower people who are not getting the help they need. People held back by poverty, exploited, abused, dealing with addiction or mental health problems, caught up in crime or a combination of these issues and others. We show people there is a way to build a better future for themselves and those they care about and help them create this through support, advice, and training. Our peer-led services form the backbone of our work, putting people with lived experience at the centre of delivery, design, and evaluation of support and services across the UK.

What we are looking for from you:

• Experience of working successfully with challenging people, for example, people who have complex needs, people who are reluctant to discuss their needs, and people who are angry and confused.
• Understanding of the issues faced by females involved or at risk of becoming involved in the criminal justice system.
• A knowledge and understanding of providing support, advice, and advocacy to vulnerable clients and the ability to communicate this knowledge in a variety of ways.
• Ability to assess clients’ needs and provide client-led support.
• Ability to calculate risk and implement safety procedures when engaging with clients in the community.
• A good understanding of Safeguarding.
• An understanding of rural issues and working across the region in isolated communities. Candidates must be willing to work flexibly and travel across the county as needed.
•  The ability to use monitoring systems to record all aspects of the project, including actions, outcomes, and referrals, and demonstrate achievement of targets.
•  The flexibility to work some early mornings and evenings and travel (where necessary) throughout the region and occasional travel to head office for relevant training.
• Awareness of and commitment to equal opportunity and diversity practices and policies, and ability to promote diversity and treat colleagues and clients fairly and with respect.
