Description

Do you see the news about people who have committed offences and think "send them to prison" if the answer is yes then this definitely is not the job for you

However if you think "I wonder what happened to that person to cause this behavior" or " what could help this person not to commit further offences" then this could be the job you are looking for.

The post holder will be responsible for working in Liaison and Diversion (L&D) Services, dependent on skill and service need.

L&D is not itself a treatment service, but it is an identification, assessment and short term support service.

There will be Liaison and Diversion Practitioners within Custody Suites and Court setting to identify and assess vulnerable individuals.

It uses assessments to make appropriate referrals for treatment and support, and ensures criminal justice practitioners are notified of specific health requirements and vulnerabilities of an individual which can be taken into account when decisions about charging and sentencing are made.

The post holder will be responsible for providing short term support to vulnerable individuals upon leaving Custody or Court, where further support is required.

The post holder will be responsible for working closely with the individual to prioritise need and plan actions to address identified need.

This may include supporting an individual to make a referral to a specific service and support the individual to attend the initial appointment with that service.
