About the Role
To deliver targeted early intervention activity that prevents hate crime and harmful radicalisation by working proactively with schools, communities, and partner agencies. The role focuses on building resilience among young people by helping them understand what constitutes a hate crime, how propaganda, misinformation, and conspiracy narratives operate, and the ways these can create division within communities.
