Youth Intervention Practitioners – London (£28,350 + benefits)
We are looking to recruit dynamic team members across all our London Hospital sites, listed below. During the application process, you will be asked to list your location preference in order. If successful, this will be discussed with you during the recruitment stages.
As a Youth Intervention Practitioner working on our Youth Violence Intervention Programme, you will primarily be based in the A&E department of a hospital, supporting young people who are experiencing trauma or tragedy and their families. You’ll be part of a team that is fully embedded in the hospital and that is highly valued by clinicians and community partners alike.
To do this well you need to be a people person; passionate about supporting young people, and excited at the prospect of working in a fast-paced and exceptionally busy environment. You’ll need a proven ability to work with high risk, vulnerable young people and an understanding of the impact intense, short term work can have. You must be a strong communicator: as comfortable building a relationship with a young person as you are liaising with our clinical colleagues. You’ll be keen to keep learning, seizing training opportunities at Redthread and continuously reflecting upon and improving your practice.
In return, the successful candidate will receive a competitive salary, a supportive and flexible working environment, excellent staff training and development package and access to a range of employee benefits including access to enhanced employee assistance programme services, employer pension scheme contribution, enhanced annual leave and family leave entitlements and more. As this role requires an NHS honorary contract, as well as Redthread benefits, you’ll also have unique access to generous NHS discounts and blue light schemes too. The offer of employment is conditional on satisfactory pre-employment checks which include meeting any applicable legal vaccination requirements, unless medically exempt, as set by the CQC.

· Croydon University Hospital, Croydon | · St Georges Hospital, Tooting |
