Your work will be creative and hands-on, drawing on local, regional and national resources, and referrals will come directly from JLOs, Probation, Courts and Oberstown.

We're looking for someone trauma-informed, compassionate and non-judgemental, with a genuine ability to build trust with young people who may be reluctant to engage. If you're creative, flexible and driven to help young people change direction, we'd love to hear from you.
