The persons we employ need to be skilled in social media as a means of contacting and keeping the CYP’s involved in their future.

You will have good partnership connections as you will be working closely with them to enable our service to be seen as the provider of good working relationships with other professionals and the CYP.

Good IT skills, knowledge of criminal justice issues and an understanding of the effects a court appearance can have on victims and witnesses of crime are also essential.
