Would you like to work at the cutting edge of youth and community services?
 
Have you got experience of working with disadvantaged young people and are ready for a new challenge?
 
As a committed Christian, you will contribute to the work of a dynamic multi-faith team, focused on helping young offenders to re-shape their lives. Based out of Feltham Young Offenders you will be responsible for recruiting, training and supporting volunteer mentors, who come from diverse faith communities across London, and will directly help the young men leaving prison to make more positive choices.

A strong team player, you will be both highly organised, and creative in your approach, and will report directly to the Project Director.

How you can help:

  • Become a supporting faith community: we will train at least 2 volunteers from your community and support them as they are each matched with a young man leaving Feltham
  • Become a volunteer: after an initial interview you will receive 4 days training, which will equip you for your role as a mentor.  You will then be introduced to a young man who will shortly be leaving Feltham and form a mentoring relationship with him, which will continue after he has left. We will provide you with ongoing support, including paying for expenses to meetings for the duration of the mentoring relationship
  • Become a supporter: the project is always in need of all kinds of support, such as free of charge venues to hold meetings and training events. We also need ongoing financial support. Please contact us via email on emma.rogers@hmps.gsi.gov.uk or by telephone on 020 8844 5585 if you think you may be able to help
  • By working in partnership with us: we are already working closely with government agencies such as the Youth Justice Board and Probation, as well as with Community Safety Teams, District Judges and voluntary agencies such as the De Paul Trust and the Salvation Army. If you are working for, or running, an organisation that could partner with us to help us achieve both our goals and your own, then please get in touch.
