Answer
These types of jobs are often advertised in the guardian on a wednesday, or look at their jobs website.
i would imagine that workers in this field would need to have some health or social work background, but more important would be the ability to engage with the particular client group the project is aiming to reach, eg young people, bme groups.
if you see such a job advertised, send for an application pack and look at the person spec which will show what they are looking for.
