Team Leader (Homerton Hospital)

Redthread works with vulnerable young people in crisis. Whether they have been the victim of a stabbing, are seeking support for anxiety, have suffered a sexual assault, or want to find a new home beyond the reach of a gang, we support them to overcome the challenges they face through our dynamic youth work programmes.

Redthread is well established within London’s Major Trauma Network hospitals, and our work in local A&Es like Homerton allows us to intervene earlier in the lives of young people, breaking the cycle of violence.

To succeed in this role you need to be a strong leader, who advocates for a trauma-informed approach, for the team and for the young people we support. You’ll have extensive experience working with young people who are vulnerable and high risk- and you’ll understand the support eco-system they need.

"I've seen first-hand how our hospitals provide a unique moment to engage with young people. Redthread have helped thousands of Londoners - and I'm proud to support their work."  - Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, June 2019

The purpose of the role is to lead the Youth Violence Intervention Programme team at Homerton Hospital and ensure that Redthread’s model of intervention is delivered consistently and appropriately to all young people accessing the service.
