Young People’s Project Worker East Cornwall

Job Purpose: The Young People’s Project Worker will support youth-led projects in East Cornwall, using the Restorative model, so that young people are supported and empowered to lead, have their voices heard and to take positive action to make things better, socially, locally, and on a wider scale.

RJ Working is a charity serving the communities of Cornwall. We support young people’s leadership through Restorative Practice, to enable their voices, participation and empowerment. Restorative Practice helps to build relationships and the skills to better look after self and
others. This creates a foundation for building fairer communities and tackling inequalities.

Our work in East Cornwall is not yet as established as our work in West and Mid Cornwall. This role will support and enable young people to take leadership in developing Restorative Approaches and embedding these approaches in their communities. It will build on RJ Working’s
experience of relationships with schools, colleges and young people, and develop new relationships and connections in East Cornwall.
