Be part of something that keeps children and young people safe from Stalking.

This new role will put you at the heart of an innovative partnership across West Yorkshire that is changing how we respond to stalking. As part of the Safer Steps Team, you will provide specialist support to high-risk, vulnerable children and young people who are experiencing stalking, whether it is domestic abuse-related or non-domestic abuse-related. Your work will help shape a safer, more coordinated approach to protecting young people and improving their long-term wellbeing.

You will play a key role in raising awareness and understanding of stalking and its unique impact on young victim-survivors across services and partner organisations. Through your work, you will help break down barriers to support, ensuring children and young people can access the help they need when they need it most.

We’re looking for someone who is empathetic, compassionate, and committed to making a real difference in the lives of vulnerable young people. You’ll have experience working within a partnership or multi-agency environment, building trust, and supporting others through challenging circumstances.

If you want to use your knowledge, experience, and skills to do something that truly matters, improves safety, and changes lives for the better, we’d love to hear from you.
