Nottinghamshire Youth Justice are looking to recruit casual Youth mentors. This is a flexible post working in three hours sessions as part of the Nottinghamshire Youth Justice service, providing one-to-one mentoring and small group to young people who have been identified as needing early intervention to divert them away from offending.

This is a great opportunity to contribute towards the overarching aim of reducing risk of offending for young people and crime in the local community. We are looking for somebody with Youth Work experience, but it is not essential. You will need to have a passion to work with young people to reduce their risk of involvement with offending, violence, exploitation and to provide early intervention for young people to help divert them away from offending.

Appointment to this post is subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check.

Disabled applicants who meet the essential shortlisting requirements will be guaranteed an interview. A job share scheme is available for all full-time posts: both permanent and temporary, unless otherwise stated. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and we expect all staff to share this commitment and undergo appropriate checks.

Nottinghamshire County Council strives to ensure that it goes beyond the requirements of the Equalities Act and prides itself on being accredited as a Disability Confident Leader Organisation.

Therefore, the County Council encourages applications from all, irrespective of gender, marital status, disability, race, religion, belief, pregnancy and maternity status, age or sexual orientation.
