The Liaison and Diversion (L&D) Service works with people of all ages (including children and young people) with a wide range of vulnerabilities including poor mental health and learning disabilities, who have offended or are at risk of offending. We support service users who have contact with police stations, the courts, prisons and probation. The Service comprises a multi-agency, multi skilled team, led and managed by Wakefield City Council Youth Offending Service. Touchstone is one of the partners in the service. The aim is to work together to reduce the risk factors for reoffending by providing short-term support and signposting into longer-term support services.

Working alongside the L&D Practice Manager and Touchstone’s other volunteering projects, you will support L&D service users (peers) and others to volunteer within the service and elsewhere.

The successful post holder's main location will be Wakefield, but with travel throughout Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield and beyond.
