A BIT ABOUT THE ROLE

The Gael Og Youth Service is part of Action for Children and is based at Rail House, Inverness. The Young Person Practitioner post will work in the Anchor Service.
The service will offer support to young people aged 13-18yrs who are vulnerable and at risk. Staff will work on a flexible rota basis over 5 days due to the support being offered in the evenings and weekends. You’ll work as part of a multi-agency team with Barnardo’s and Aberlour staff.

The Anchor Highland Cash Back will focus on two key areas of support:

• Street Work - The team engage with young people through street work, building trusting relationships by identifying needs and providing information and advice. The Anchor Hub building is accessible in evenings and weekends, offering a safe space where young people receive hot food and refreshments.
• Alternative Space - The Hub offers an alternative space for young people, to reduce the number of young people congregating in unsafe locations and who risk involvement in anti-social behaviours and becoming targets for criminal/sexual perpetrators. Anchor also provides telephone and text services.
