Volunteer role: Restorative facilitator at Project Salus

Are you interested in supporting victims of crime and their families? Could you facilitate at Restorative Youth Caution meetings between young offenders and their victims at police stations across Kent. The Restorative Justice Service is a provision delivered jointly by Salus and Restorative Solutions. This service brings together Kent County Council’s Integrated Youth Services, Kent Police and Kent Probation to provide improved services to victims of crime in Kent and Medway. You will receive full training from some of the country’s leading restorative justice practitioners and access to training and personal development which will give you valuable skills, as well as enable you to make a difference to your community. All we ask is that you: have a few hours a week that you can spend facilitating/supporting meetings between victims and offenders using restorative justice for maximum impact; that you want to gain wide ranging and diverse skills gained through experience of working with victims and families in the most challenging circumstances; have the personal skills and values to be creative and resilient in engaging victims and offenders of crime, to find a lasting restorative solution to reduce the impact of crime.
