As Lead Youth Worker within the Safe Haven Team (known as Space4U on the Isle of Wight), you will play a crucial role in supporting children and young people aged 11-17 years old across the Isle of Wight who are facing mental health challenges and need access to out-of-hours emotional and practical support. The children and young people accessing Safe Haven support are in self-defined crisis, when it feels it has become unmanageable, and interventions are to support them to reduce the crisis in their life.

The service provides practical and emotional support for children and young people to help de-escalate crisis and equip them with coping skills through a range of therapeutic interventions and may be used as an alternative to admission to statutory services.

You would be working in both a virtual and physical capacity via appointment and drop-in sessions up to 8pm at night, online webchat, telephone support and outreach preventative work, delivering in educational establishments and community locations.

We are committed to making a difference to the lives of the children and young people we work with, and as such you must show a willingness to demonstrate commitment to the values and behaviours which flow from the No Limits ethos.

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people is paramount.
