Pathways is an exciting project with the goal of reducing reoffending in Cumbria. A person going through the Pathways project can expect support, structure and to be held accountable for their actions. In partnership with the Cumbria Police and the Police and Crime Commissioner.

Remedi are looking for people who are passionate about helping people and want to work in a job where they can make a tangible difference to someone's life.

This Mentoring and interventions offered made by Pathway support workers will take a holistic approach and may include both emotional and practical support, with a focus on;

Resolving accommodation issues and family relationship issues
Supporting and encouraging individuals to form/engage in healthy relationships/friendships with family members and peers
Supporting individuals to access Education, Training, and Employment and relevant health care, i.e. drug/alcohol, mental and physical health support.
Supporting individuals to engage with the Police disposal conditions set
Supporting individuals to successfully undertake and complete various programs you will be trained to deliver to groups and/or on a one; one basis.

You will need to work closely with Police Officers and other partners across Cumbria and may include attending multiagency panel meetings on a regular basis to discuss cases and make appropriate referrals to other agencies to support and encourage individuals you are working with.

You will be responsible for undertaking an initial assessment to identify the needs of the individual and the outcomes they would like to achieve. Then jointly develop a bespoke support plan WITH the individual and agree actions and review timescales.

Pathways workers will provide intensive intervention support for a defined period of time and will need to be flexible, persistent and responsive to support individuals to make positive choices and reduce the risks associated with future reoffending.
