Trauma Informed Custody Navigator - Fixed Term post until 31/03/2027

You will be part of the Youth Justice Service but the main base is at Sefton Custody Suite, Copy Lane, Netherton. The main purpose of the role is to reduce youth crime and violence by engaging with children in Police Custody and providing assessment, planning and delivery of interventions to children involved in offending behaviour. This is a key part of early intervention and prevention work to steer children away from criminality.

You will support children from across Merseyside who you will come into contact with at the Custody Suite, so the offer is not limited to Sefton children. You will provide support to children once they leave police custody in their own communities and link them in with local services. You will build link with other Merseyside Local Authorities.

You will undertake both one to one and group work programmes and engage in the development of exciting projects to meet the needs of children. You will have experience of delivering direct work and interventions, embody Child First Principles and be ambitious for children and families.

Sefton YJS will support you and your development and you will report to a Sefton Operational Manager, although engage with leaders from the Merseyside Violence Reduction Partnership.
