Summary
This isnt your typical Practitioner role. As a Youth Justice Health and Wellbeing Worker, working on the JEFF project you will join a team that is doing things differently, built with young people, not just for them. JEFF stands for Journey to Enrichment, Fulfilment and Friendship, and it is not just a catchy name. It is a mission shaped by the voices of the young people we work with, turning their ideas into real, on the ground support that makes sense for their world. You will work with children and young people who are in contact with, or at risk of entering, the Youth Justice System. Every day, you will be helping them access the right support at the right time, offering targeted mental health and emotional wellbeing interventions that are practical, responsive and built around trust. You will spend your time where it matters most. That might be sitting alongside a Youth Justice colleague doing a joint assessment, running a small group in a local youth space, or checking in with a young person one to one. You will have the trust and backing to do what works. You will be part of a supportive team and work closely with VCSE partners, schools, CAMHS and other local services to make sure support feels connected and never leaves young people to fall through the gaps. This role is fast paced, varied and deeply rewarding. You will be a visible and trusted presence in the community, helping young people feel seen, supported and hopeful about the future.
