Le Chéile Mentoring works to make positive changes in the lives of young people who offend and their families, through the provision of Mentoring, Family Support and Restorative Justice Services.
They provide tailored and flexible services with young people at the core. Le Chéile Mentoring also works in partnership with the Probation Services and other agencies to reduce the level of crime in the community.
Le Cheile Mentoring are currently recruiting for a new Coordinator to set up a service for Galway City and County. The coordinator’s role is to establish and coordinate a mentoring and restorative justice service in County Galway for young people and parents/carers, who have been referred by the Probation Service, An Garda Siochana and other partner agencies.
The mentoring service is provided by volunteer mentors, supported by the coordinator. The coordinator recruits, trains and supports suitable volunteer mentors from their community. The Restorative Justice service is also delivered by the coordinator and involves one to one work with the young person and sometimes with a victim of crime.
Participants may partake in mentoring and/or restorative justice programmes and interventions, depending on individual needs. Volunteers can either be matched with young people, parents / carers or can also take part in restorative justice interventions.
The coordinator provides ongoing support to the mentor/mentee relationship through training, resources and supervision. Le Cheile Mentoring are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic person with an experience of engaging young people in the justice system to join their team. If you are interested, please apply here:
