Job Details
Youth Intervention Practitioner - London (St Mary's Hospital)
Salary: £27,000 p.a. (+ benefits)
Location: St Mary's Hospital, Paddington
Contract: Fixed-term contract to 31st March 2022, Full-Time
Closing Date: 9am, Monday 20th September
As a Youth Intervention Practitioner based in the St Mary’s Hospital A&E department, you will support young people who are experiencing trauma or tragedy and their families. You’ll be part of a team that is fully embedded in the hospital and that is highly valued by clinicians and community partners alike.
To do this well you need to be a people person; passionate about supporting young people, and excited at the prospect of working in a fast-paced and exceptionally busy environment. You’ll need a proven ability to work with high risk, vulnerable young people and an understanding of the impact intense, short term work can have.
You must be a strong communicator: as comfortable building a relationship with a young person as you are liaising with our clinical colleagues. You’ll be keen to keep learning, seizing training opportunities at Redthread and continuously reflecting upon and improving your practice.
During the Covid-19 outbreak, our teams are still working from the hospitals as we are classed as essential workers. You will need to do shifts the hospital, as well as working some days from home, depending on the needs of the team and the service.
Please note: This position is offered on a fixed-term contract to 31st March 2022.

Closing date: 9am, Monday 20th September
First round online interview: Friday 24th September
We would like this role to start as soon as possible and we will provide comprehensive training and induction.
Please note: If we receive a high number of applications, we reserve the right to close the advert before the closing date. Therefore, early applications are encouraged.
Details on how to apply are inside the job pack on our website. We use the BeApplied recruitment system, which is designed to remove as much opportunity for bias as possible and allows candidates to show off their skills, and share real life evidence of work they’ve done before, meaning we choose the best people for the role based on merit, and not on how well they can write a CV or if we identify with names/backgrounds.
