Job description

Youth Justice Worker – Sheffield Youth Justice Service

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Sheffield Youth Justice Service who are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic person to join the service as a Youth Justice Worker.

Sheffield Youth Justice Service aspires to be an innovative and supportive service that is successful in the work we do with young people and their families through skilled, knowledgeable, inspirational staff who are effective and accountable and enable the young people we work with to feel safe, motivated, and hopeful for their future.

The role of Youth Justice Worker is key to these aspirations and this role provides an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to further develop their career, take on a real challenge and make a positive difference to the lives of some of the most challenging and vulnerable children of Sheffield.

Sheffield Youth Justice Service is a key statutory partnership within the city and the successful applicant will join an established team who is committed to maintaining and further developing effective relationships with key partners including Probation Service, Children’s Services, Sheffield Children’s NHS Trust, South Yorkshire Police and the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner.

Sheffield Youth Justice Service continues to coordinate the provision of youth justice services across the city and as a Youth Justice Worker you will be responsible managing a caseload of young people to prevent reoffending, protect the public, promote the safety and wellbeing of service users and to ensure that disposals and sentences are served.

The successful candidate will be supported to undertake a foundation degree in Youth Justice within the first three years in post to progress to the role of Youth Justice Officer.

Sheffield Youth Justice Service has recently received an overall judgement of “Good“ by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Probation and rated “Outstanding” in many areas of service delivery.

We are committed to fairness and social justice and welcome applications from everyone especially black and minority ethnic applicants as there is underrepresentation within our current structure which does not represent the current cohort of children we are working with.

The Youth Justice Service values the diversity within our children, aims to ensure that the service is representative of them and is committed to working together to celebrate this and embrace our differences positively.

Under the Disability Confident Scheme, disabled applicants, who meet the essential criteria of this job, are guaranteed an interview.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and expect all staff to share this commitment.

All successful candidates will be required to complete an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check.

Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council, including reduced hour contracts, working part time or as a job share.
