Our Risk and Resilience programme currently delivers a programme for all young people in Greenwich to facilitates positive changes in behavior towards relationships, identity and gender. This will be achieved through a programme of sessions that address: sexual behaviors, healthy relationships, consent, porn, violence, substance misuse, identity, and conflict resolution. Broader outcomes, as a result, will include reducing substance misuse and involvement in crime or risky behavior.
The programme is developing, from been offered as young girls and young boys’ mentoring, to becoming a unified programme for young people regardless of gender.

You will need to show a strong commitment to young people and show an understanding of the factors affecting young people’s lives. You will be working closely with the young people to facilitate positive change and tools to manage risk. You will evaluate referrals and conduct initial assessments with young people before completing the risk and resilience work, or refer to more appropriate services as needed, internally within METRO, within Greenwich partners, or externally.
The role involves delivering client-facing work in a flexible and relatable way, as well as attending key meetings in the boroughs to gain referrals. You will be responsible for reviewing one-to-one and group session plans that support positive behaviours tailored to the feedback given from venues, are interactive in nature, and are supported by current policy and research.
The role requires that you are comfortable delivering peer mentoring to young people regardless of their identities for example regarding gender.
You will capture data from your delivery to produce quarterly reports in line with the project's key deliverables. You will liaise with the Youth Manager to review project outcomes and suggest recommended changes for the benefit of the service users.
You will need to be a creative, flexible as well as strategic thinker. You will be responsible for promoting the programme to ensure the offer reach the intended young people.
