You will be responsible for ensuring that the voices of those impacted by offences committed by children and young individuals are central to youth justice proceedings, enabling victims to make well-informed decisions regarding participation in restorative justice.

This role will involve reaching out to crime victims and ensuring compliance with the victim code of practice. Direct interaction with victims necessitates excellent communication skills, empathy, and the ability to cater to their needs sensitively.

You will oversee a caseload and should possess skills in explaining legal procedures, active listening, report writing, advocacy, and implementing restorative justice methods. Prior experience working with victims or restorative practices would be advantageous. The position will be based in Exeter with potential for remote work, requiring travel within Devon.

The Devon Youth Justice Service comprises a collaborative team of professionals from diverse backgrounds dedicated to reducing youth offending and re-offending rates. Candidates must exhibit enthusiasm and creativity in working with young individuals, their families, colleagues, and crime victims. Commitment to a Child First approach is essential, along with a firm grasp of the guiding principles.
