Job Purpose: The Young People’s Project Worker will support youth-led projects in West 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 West Cornwall has been established since 2017 and we are looking to develop further it’s transformative potential. This role will support and enable young people to take leadership in developing Restorative Approaches and embedding these approaches in their communities.
