Full job description

This is a part time position (18 hours per week). The salary quoted is for a full time post (36 hours) and it will be pro-rata .

Enfield Youth Development Service is located within the Children and Families division part of the Youth People and Community Safety Department and well placed to support young people with additional needs, including ‘children in need’, those on a child plan of protection, children looked after and young people engaging in risky behaviour.

Youth Development service works with young people age 11-19, (and up to 25 with young people with disabilities and learning difficulties). The key aim of youth work is to provide personal and social development opportunities to children and young people to help them to transition to adulthood and achieve the best outcomes, whilst promoting good citizenship.

As part of the contextual safeguarding approach, you will use a variety of youth work methods to positively engage young people such as detached and outreach youth work, mentoring, advocacy, provision of information, advice and guidance, one to one work, group work and project work. You will be part of contextual safeguarding youth work team, line managed by Youth Service and directed in its work by the Contextual Safeguarding Hub to target identified hot spots and young people at risk. Our ambition is that through a provision of contextual safeguarding youth work approach, we will reduce young people’s risk to extra familial abuse outside of home whilst strengthening their resilience and ability to make informed and safe life choices.

You will work with young people in a wide range of settings such as streets, local parks, communities, neighbourhoods, schools and will use a variety of youth work methods to positively engage young people. You will be required to undertake evening and weekend work in accordance with service requirements.

You will be required to engage identified young people through establishing a relationship of trust in one to one support, group work, projects and activities that promote learning, personal and social development and above all enable young people to make informed choices to stay safe in contexts outside of their family and home.

You will deliver specific and bespoke interventions tailored to young people’s needs and abilities in a variety of settings to reduce young people’s engagement in risky behaviour and risk of harm in response to the themes/needs identified by Contextual Safeguarding Hub.

As part of your role you will be required to share information and work collaboratively with key professional agencies involved in contextual safeguarding such as social workers, Police, schools/PRUs/Colleges, youth offending service, community safety, health, housing and others. Support and challenge young people’s attitudes and action towards issues such as unemployment, drugs, poverty, racism, sexism, disability, health, sexuality, criminality, peer, parental and community pressure.
