**Overview**:
An opportunity to join Buckinghamshire Council Youth Offending Service, delivering services to make positive impact for young people and families in our community.

Taken from our recent inspection report from His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Probation, a quote from their findings highlighted Buckinghamshire YOS to be “_A skilled, stable, highly motivated, staff team who are supported by a competent management team that promotes a culture of learning and development. There are excellent training and development opportunities and a strong connection between operational delivery and strategic priorities.”_

As Community Engagement Practitioner within the multi-agency Youth Offending Service, you will be highly motivated to co-ordinate a bespoke reparation service for children in their local community and provide support across the wider team, You will be available to work weekdays and weekends to support Young People with their reparation tasks

**About us**:
In April 2020 Buckinghamshire Council became the UK’s newest council and the residents of Buckinghamshire will be served by a single, unitary council.

Buckinghamshire is an ambitious, rapidly growing county, and our economy is one of the strongest in the country. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty and ranks as one of the top rural areas to live in the UK and yet it is incredibly well connected
- only an hour from London on the train. The county has a rich history and heritage and is the birthplace of the international Paralympic movement.

We are looking for motivated, ambitious and inspiring people to join us on our journey. Not only will you be an integral part of the unique and exciting transition through the unitary process, you will also be entitled to a range of different benefits to make sure you are happy both at work and at home.

**About the role**:
As the Community Engagement Officer, you will be required to co-ordinate a bespoke reparation service for children aged 10-17 years old in the community on weekdays and at weekends and facilitate community engagement initiatives. You will be involved in the screening and coordination of out of court disposals from the police, to inform managers decision making for the allocation of work. You will complete direct work and support the wider YOS team with contacts for children on intensive orders. The role will require you:

- To work with statutory, voluntary and community organisations to develop placements for YOS children to complete reparation activities
- To supervise reparation activity on site on weekends.
- To support with recruitment and training of volunteers who will be supervising with reparation activities
- To support YOS children with their understanding of restorative underpinnings of reparation and how it can prevent re-offending in the future
- To be involved in the screening of information from the police and completion of partner agency checks to enable appropriate Early Intervention support to be coordinated and delivered.
- To contact families where a need for Early Intervention support has been identified to offer bespoke interventions through voluntary engagement.
- To provide identified support sessions to YOS children who are receiving intensive YOS orders. This will be on a case by case basis and in liaison with YOS officer(s) supervising cases.
