Start360 are currently seeking an Keyworker for the EDGES project to cover a period of maternity on a full-time basis. The Keyworker will work directly with young people and their families/carers, delivering 1-1 interventions as well as group work.

Information on the experience and qualifications required for the post are outlined in the application pack.

Salary: NJC Points 22 - 25 (£20,456 - £22,434).

Base: Glengormley

Probation: You will serve a probationary period of six months.  This may be extended if considered appropriate.

Hours: Full-time (37 hours per week).

Contract: Fixed term contract - maternity cover. 


Background to the Project

The EDGES project provides an evidence informed, specialist ‘earlier intervention’ service for young people primarily between the ages of 13–17, who are on the ‘edge of care, custody and/or education’.

These young people are coming to the regular attention of the police for non-offence related behaviour, and their attendance or behaviour in education indicates a need for intervention. They are also likely to be at risk of homelessness in later adolescence and to feature in the Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEETS) population post compulsory school education.

 

Background to the Role

The Keyworker will work directly with young people and their families/carers delivering 1-1 interventions as well as group work, and work alongside families to help improve relationships and positive coping strategies.  The Keyworker will promote all aspects of the service to other agencies and individuals. Collaborative working with statutory and other voluntary and community services will be central to this role, as well as developing and managing a complex case load.
