Delivered by culturally competent female mentors, many with relevant lived experience, the service works alongside statutory and voluntary sector partners to identify and support young women who may otherwise remain hidden from traditional safeguarding pathways.
The service aims to reduce the harm caused by exploitation, improve safety and wellbeing, and help young women build resilience and positive futures.
About This Key Role
As a Female Child Criminal Exploitation Mentor, you will provide intensive support to young women and girls who have been identified as being at risk of, or involved in, exploitation and related harms.
Working on a one-to-one basis, as well as delivering groupwork sessions, you will build trusted relationships with young people and their families, helping them to recognise risks, increase their safety and make positive changes in their lives.
You will work closely with partner agencies to coordinate support, contribute to safeguarding and risk management processes, and provide advice and guidance to professionals working with vulnerable young women.
What we are looking for
- Experience of engaging positively with young females or other vulnerable groups.
- Experience providing support, advice, advocacy or mentoring to individuals with complex needs.
- Experience building trusting relationships with people who may be reluctant to engage with services.
- Knowledge of trauma-informed approaches and safeguarding practice.
- Experience working with partner agencies to establish links to further the aims of the project.
- Strong communication, organisational and record-keeping skills.
- Good IT skills, including experience using Microsoft Office and case management systems.
