You will co-produce effective intervention plans that evidence input from young people and parents/carers and utilise all YOS resources and liaise with other partnership providers to access additional services to support the young person and prevent further offending.

Here in Essex, we continue to raise the bar about practice and our investment in our workforce is second to none. It's an exciting time to join us.
