The service will support adolescents on the brink of becoming accommodated, those in care where there is a plan for rehabilitation, and adolescents at risk of escalating to a high cost placement as a result of their behaviours.

The post holder will undertake Activity & Community based sessions with adolescents, their families and/or Peers who are open to the FAST Key working team.
