Do you believe every young person deserves the opportunity to change their story?
We’re seeking a dedicated and compassionate individual to support vulnerable young men who are at risk of, or involved in, offending behaviour.
This role is about more than reducing crime – it’s about building trust, inspiring hope, and helping young people to develop the skills, confidence and aspirations needed to create a positive future.
If you enjoy working directly with young people, forming meaningful connections, and making a real difference, we’d love to hear from you.
Step Together Volunteering is proud to be a partner with Avon & Somerset Police's Deferred Prosecution Service and RISE Mutual, helping young men (aged 18-24) at risk of offending to follow a more positive pathway. You will be joining us at an exciting time when we are looking to expand our support in Bristol and the surrounding areas. Building on over 30 years’ experience of supporting young people, we are looking to recruit an experienced individual to join our Youth Justice Project, to deliver our bespoke six-week training programme, 'For My Future'.
You will be responsible for coaching young men from a wide range of ethnicities and background including those from the BAME community and be someone who understands the challenges they face growing up in some of the region's most deprived areas.
The role is based in Bristol where the majority of clients will live, however, our support covers all of the Avon & Somerset Police Force area. We hope to appoint someone who is already based in this location, with a good knowledge of support available to young people.
The post is currently funded for 14 hours a week between Monday to Friday, and you can choose the fixed days that work for you. Some flexibility, however, will be required to meet the needs of the project. You will have responsibility for planning and delivering the virtual course on Teams from home, but you can expect to be also delivering some in-person, 1:1 delivery when this is not possible.
A car is therefore essential, and you can expect to have some occasional travel across the Avon & Somerset Police Force area to meet clients safely within their community. You don't have to be a qualified trainer or tutor to deliver our programme.
Your experience of working with this cohort of young people is more important, which will include an understanding of early intervention programmes, 1:1 person-centred support and group youth work. You might even have personal lived experience and are wanting a role where you can give something back.
You will have the opportunity to adapt and develop the course to ensure it meets the needs of young men.
Salary & Benefits: £10,506 per annum on a part time basis (FTE £26,265), 33 days annual leave including bank holidays (FTE, pro rata for part-time) and additional time off at Christmas. We offer a stakeholder pension scheme with employer contributions up to 5%; life insurance; employee assistance programme, enhanced sick pay upon completion of probation; eye tests; childcare vouchers; cycle to work scheme; full induction, regular supervisions and training; laptop and mobile phone; regular team communications, away days and support.
The post is subject to a 3-month probationary period, enhanced DBS clearance and two satisfactory references being received, one of which should be from your current/ most recent employer.
Start Date: flexible but those who are available at a month’s notice or less are preferred. Ideally, we aim to have someone in post or ready for their induction and training around mid-late August.
To apply, please read our Job Description and Person Specification thoroughly and ensure that you complete our application form, detailing your transferrable skills and experience, and your reasons for applying.
