Engage Lead Practitioner - Youth Justice Service (Temporary - Hammersmith & Fulham)

Engage Lead Practitioner - Youth Justice Service (Temporary - Hammersmith & Fulham) 
Pay - £35 per hour.  
 The ENGAGE programme will involve being one of three dedicated practitioners. Engage workers to see all under 18s detained in Charing Cross and Hammersmith custody suites with the aim of reaching them at a ‘teachable moment’ and help set these young people on more positive paths. The ambition is that this will further reduce the risk of children entering the criminal justice system and ensure they are engaged with intervention at the earliest opportunity to support diversion from offending. Many of the children seen in custody are at a crisis point and we hope to engage with our youth workers when offered the chance. This project will provide a platform for this to happen and to take these relationships outside of the custody area. The project aims to work with children in police detentions within Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster. It will identify risk factors relating to Serious Youth Violence (SYV) and ensure appropriate and targeted responses via local interventions and provisions are deployed. The project will ensure a dedicated and trained practitioner provides intervention in police custody or immediately after release from Police custody at teachable, reachable moments and beyond.
