Thank you for considering a role with Redthread. We are a team of compassionate, collaborative and courageous professionals, committed to empowering young people to change their lives.  This clip from BBC News will give you a taster of what we do every day, and you can see more about the Young Women’s Service in this clip from Sport Relief.

We are looking for an outstanding, experienced professional to join our team at St George's Hospital in Tooting as a Young Women’s Worker.

Please note we are recruiting a female worker for this role, which is exempt under the Equality Act 2010 Schedule 9, Part 1. 

Our Young Women’s Workers support young women affected by violence and gang activity by working intensively with them to help them secure a positive future. The service works within Redthread’s Youth Violence Intervention Programme and so our initial contact with the young women is in the A&E department, followed up with longer-term community-based support. 

To do this role well you need to be a people person; passionate about supporting young women, 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 women and an understanding of the impact intense, short term work can have as well as longer interventions. You must be a strong communicator: as comfortable building a relationship with a young woman 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 pandemic, 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 in the community and from home, depending on the needs of the team and the service.

In return, the successful candidate will receive a competitive salary, a supportive and flexible working environment, excellent staff training and development package and access to a range of employee benefits including; enhanced annual leave and family leave entitlements, employer pension scheme contribution, access to clinical supervisions, enhanced employee assistance programme services and more.

Please go to our website where you will find a job description with a person specification including details of the terms and conditions of the post. Please read through the person specification carefully as we will be shortlisting applications using these criteria. https://www.redthread.org.uk/join-the-team/
