The successful candidate will need to evidence operational excellence within a secure environment preferably dealing with children, an understanding of contractual compliance, an in depth working knowledge of prison operations and legislative requirements, and success in leading a team.
The role requires working with a wide range of stakeholders in a high profile environment and it is key that you are flexible and adaptable to deal with ever-changing scenarios that working in Youth Custody provides.
