The Aasha Gang Mediation Project (a project of Osmani Trust) has been working with young people influenced by gang culture for the last decade. It is the pioneering project in Tower Hamlets that has been tackling the issue of gangs in our community. In order to strengthen its provisions in the Borough, we are seeking to recruit an individual who will be able to work with challenging groups of young people by designing and delivering effective interventions in a peer work setting. The post will involve direct contact with young people, regular outreach sessions every week, supporting young people in organising activities, events and more.
If you have direct experience of handling youth who are from a disadvantaged background, display challenging behaviour, then we are keen to hear from you. The ideal post holder will have the ability to work well under pressure, meet tight deadlines and targets within the agreed time and budget. You will need to have considerable experience of working in a youth work setting in accordance with the core values of youth work.
