Job overview:


Liaison and Diversion (L&D) services aim to provide early intervention for vulnerable people of all ages as they come to the attention of the criminal justice system.

The aim of the service is to improve health and well-being, reduce vulnerability, and reduce the risk of reoffending.


L&D services provide a prompt response to concerns raised by the police, probation service, youth offending teams or court staff, and provide critical information to decision-makers in the justice system, in real time, when it comes to charging and sentencing people.

L&D also acts as a point of referral and assertive follow up for these service users, to ensure they can access, and are supported to attend, treatment and rehabilitation appointments.

ReConnect, which is part of the Liaison & Diversion Service, is an NHSE funded service.

The post holder will work closely with our criminal justice partners, and support will focus on preparing individuals for release and supporting them on day of release where possible, to connect them to services in the community to meet their health needs.


The post-holder will be expected to:

  • Take the lead role within the Cornwall ReConnect Service and maintain close links with wider Peninsula ReConnect Service.
  • Work with individuals to provide support with practical concerns or difficulties that might be affecting their health and wellbeing.
  • Actively engage and work with a small number of individuals with offen
