Youth Justice Prevention Worker

About the candidate:

We are looking for people who can engage and motivate young people, who can manage groups whilst being an excellent pro-social model who can solve problems on the fly to ensure that they go home enthused about what they have done and eager to do more! You will need to be a strong team player but also pro-active and self motivated in working independently.

Your experience should reflect these skills, whether in a paid or voluntary role, and we welcome applications from those with experience of working with young people with additional needs.  

You will benefit from working with a team who have great experience in the above and will offer you support in your role, and a management team who offer leadership, understanding and a commitment to helping you to develop.  The post is initially 12 months but we are pursuing funding to extend this.

Please note that in accordance with the Council’s policy, employees who are in a formal redeployment situation will be considered in the first instance for all vacancies.

It is Council policy not to re-appoint any employee who has left under the terms of the Council's Early Voluntary Retirement (EVR) scheme or who have left with a voluntary severance (VS) package, unless in exceptional circumstances.

Applications will be accepted until midnight on the closing date.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy earlier than the specified date should we receive sufficient applications.

Applications can only be accepted through the Jobs page following registration.  Forms received via the post will not be processed.

All applicants invited to interview must evidence their right to work in the UK.  Details of required documents can be found by clicking the link at the bottom of the Jobs page.

The job description and other supporting documents will not be accessible once the vacancy closing date has passed so if a copy is required you should download it now.
