Help Young People Move Out of Harm & Into Safer, Stronger Futures
Join Streets of Growth and play a direct role in supporting vulnerable young people aged 15–21 to move away from exploitation, violence, trauma, and harmful lifestyles, and towards positive futures in education, employment, and life. This is a frontline role for someone who is deeply committed, emotionally resilient, and ready to make a meaningful difference where it matters most.
As a Young Person Intervention Coach, you will deliver Streets of Growth’s evidence-led Appropriate Intervention Plus Model (AIM+), building trusted professional relationships with young people facing complex risks and challenges. You will work one-to-one, in the community, and alongside families, partners, and agencies to reduce harm, strengthen resilience, and support long-term progression.
This is not a desk-based 9-to-5 role. It is dynamic, relational, and responsive. It includes targeted street work, outreach, crisis response, intervention planning, safeguarding, and helping young people move towards healthier, more independent futures.
What you’ll be doing
A hands-on role supporting young people through trusted relationships, tailored interventions, and real-world frontline practice.
Build trusted relationships
Develop strong, consistent relationships with young people on your caseload, helping them feel seen, supported, and positively challenged to grow.
Deliver tailored interventions
Create and implement individual intervention plans for young people experiencing trauma, exploitation, violence, abuse, or other forms of harm.
Work in real-world environments
Engage young people in the spaces where support is needed most, including on the street, in homes, in schools, and through partnership settings.
Reduce harm and support progress
Use harm reduction, life skills coaching, safeguarding practice, and progression planning to help young people move into safer and more stable lifestyles.
Collaborate with key agencies
Work alongside social services, police, schools, colleges, youth services, and internal employability staff to support coordinated outcomes for young people.
Track progress and impact
Maintain accurate records, monitor progression, and contribute to KPI delivery through Streets of Growth’s case management systems and programme framework.
Who this role is for
This role is for someone with strong frontline experience working with vulnerable young people in high-pressure or complex settings. You will likely come from a background in youth work, education, youth justice, social work, or a related field, and be confident building trust with young people who may be reluctant, challenging, or in crisis.
You will be well suited to this role if you bring:
- experience managing complex caseloads of vulnerable young people
- confidence working across safeguarding and multi-agency environments
- knowledge of trauma-informed practice, risk assessment, and contextual safeguarding
- the ability to stay calm, relational, and consistent in difficult situations
- sound judgement, emotional resilience, and professional boundaries
- a genuine passion for helping young people build safer futures
