A part-time, job share opportunity has arisen within the Community Safety & Partnerships (CS&P) Department for the role of Community Safety Practitioner – Reflect.

The successful candidate will work as part of a small team and assist in the development, planning,
co-ordination and delivery of a range of different youth interventions throughout the South Wales Fire and Rescue service area. The successful candidate will be required to step into a busy role, delivering in a multitude of settings. The work will involve organising, monitoring and delivering fire safety interventions to individuals and small groups to support community safety. Whilst the current vacancy sits within the Reflect Team, as part of Community Safety, there will be times when the practitioner may be required to support in other areas of Community Safety.

The role involves travel throughout South Wales, so the successful candidate must be able to travel independently. Candidates should currently hold an Agored Cymru Level 2 Certificate in Youth Work Practice or equivalent qualification and/or previous relevant experience of delivering youth work. The ability to work under pressure, displaying a calm, confident and flexible approach, and an open-minded attitude is a prerequisite for the position.

Youth work practitioners are expected to work closely with partner agencies to obtain the best possible outcomes for the young people referred to the project. Experience of working in partnership with external agencies would be advantageous. The role requires handling and storing personal data correctly. A comprehensive understanding into the policies and procedures linked to handling sensitive data is required.

The successful candidate will be required to complete the Drill Ground Activity – Safe to Supervise Course upon commencement in role. Further information about the main Youth Work interventions: Phoenix, can be found on the SWFRS website https://www.southwales-fire.gov.uk/youth-education/
