You will be responsible for ensuring the security and safety of children and supporting them day-to-day in a custodial environment.

You'll get training and development to ensure you have a clear understanding of the individual circumstances for young people in custody, and how your reactions in complex or dynamic situations are key to ensuring these children are helped to build better lives.


You will support children and young people who may have committed serious crimes, grown up in difficult settings, or have mental health concerns.

These individuals will test boundaries at every level, but also have a huge potential for change.

You will need a DBS check.

An extraordinary job

You'll work directly with children and young people who have committed offences, helping them to develop new skills while playing multiple different roles within one day be that a peacekeeper, a teacher, a counsellor or a mentor.


You will act as a role model to children and young people in custody, providing them with the opportunities to better their future.


Job details

As a practitioner, you will be working with children, young people and families, including carers, to achieve positive and sustainable change in their lives

- agree with the child, young person or family any specific interventions or referrals
- take an approach that will be one of respectful curiosity that challenges and supports children, young people and families to achieve their potential and stay safe
- work alongside other professionals and organisations to share the responsibility for improving outcomes


Each piece of work with a child or family will be different and you will exercise judgement on a range of evidence-based approaches to inform your practice.
