**Join us as youth justice worker - make a difference to children and young people**

The Youth Custody Service is transforming its workforce and we want you to help us on this journey. The youth justice worker role is a based on the prison officer role, but specific to working in youth custody. It will be a driving force for changing the way children and young people are cared for in custody.

We are looking for people who have a special talent in helping young people.

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 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.

**Job details**

**Essential skills**

You don’t need qualifications to become a youth justice worker. Personal qualities are more important. You need to show:

- good communication and influencing skills
- commitment to quality
- effective decision-making
- care and understanding

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

- demonstrate a passion to care for and about children, young people and families
- be skilled in recognising and assessing the complex needs that children, young people and families often present
- 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. You will regularly evaluate the effectiveness of your methods and actions. Regular supervision with an experienced practitioner will encourage reflection on your practice. At the end of the apprenticeship, the high quality of your practice will be making a real difference to those you work with.
