Have you been arrested, been to court, been on a community order or been to prison?
We are looking for a Community Engagement Worker with lived experience of the criminal justice system to join our inclusive and compassionate Liaison and Diversion service.
You will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team that covers the whole of Greater Manchester. You will work across agreed communities providing direct care and support to people from point of arrest through to sentencing.
Full training, support and supervision will be provided to guide and enable you to use the skills and knowledge you have gained through your own recovery and rehabilitation and develop new ones.
The team are proud to have recently been awarded GOLD status for the work they have completed to support the open and inclusive recruitment and retention of people with lived experience of the criminal justice system.
Although we value indirect lived experience of family, friends and carers, for this role direct lived experience is essential.
Work alongside people using lived experience and peer support/mentoring to promote hope and support resilience and self confidence
Ensure relationships are built on respect, honesty, compassion and empathy
Support independence by recognising and working with people’s strengths and assets eg what people can do rather than what they cannot
