We are looking to recruit a young person, aged 18 to 25, who has a lived experience of the youth justice system. 

Children from specific ethnic backgrounds are more commonly involved in the youth justice system compared to their proportion in the general population. This disparity is known as “disproportionality.” It’s an important issue that needs attention and that’s why we are especially keen to receive applications from black, dual heritage, Gypsy, Roma and Traveller, Asian and Eastern European communities.

You would be employed by Norfolk Youth Justice Service on a full-time three-year apprenticeship. 

You would be in a unique position drawing on your own personal experiences to support other young people. You can earn as you learn by working towards a level 5 Youth Justice Practitioner Apprenticeship.

This post will offer you: 

A regular income Unique opportunity to begin a career in a supportive environment A mentor to guide you and support you every step of the way  An array of learning opportunities in related subjects  A formal qualification  An ability to work as part of a friendly, understanding and non-judgemental team  A chance to positively impact children’s experience in the youth justice system  An opportunity to reduce inequality and make sure children’s voices are heard by everyone 

If you are interested in this opportunity, why don’t you give us a ring to talk through any questions you have and whether the job would be right for you. If you decide to apply, please send us your CV and a short covering letter explaining why you would like this job and what makes you the best person for this apprenticeship.

Please note, because of nature of this apprenticeship, we will be asking for a DBS check (criminal records check). We are looking for someone with experience of being involved in youth justice but we would like you to have been 18 months free from any conviction, arrest or related police intelligence. If you’re worried about it, please call us so we can discuss with you a way forward. 

to help you demonstrate you meet the criteria.
