Job description

Come and work for an “Outstanding” Youth Offending Service. In March 2019 the East Riding of Yorkshire Youth Offending Service became the first to ever score full marks across the board in an inspection by HM Inspectorate of Probation. Inspectors noted: “Staff build fruitful relationships with children, young people, parents and carers, and partner services. It is evident that children and young people are listened to and their goals and aspirations are taken seriously and acted upon.”

The team also won the ‘Team of the Year’ award at the prestigious LGC awards in 2020.

 

Our Model

‘You can, I can, We can’

We have created a bespoke practice model that reflects and connects our vision, our value base and our behaviour as one East Riding of Yorkshire approach to working with children, young people and their families, which is nurtured and grown from within East Riding of Yorkshire CYPSSS and owned by our workforce.

  

We remain committed to Signs of Safety as a practice framework, but this will be set within a much wider, values based, model of practice that clearly connects Signs of Safety much more clearly with the East Riding value base, and our overall approach to making and sustaining relationships with children, families and communities.

 

Without a well embedded model, there is nothing to centre our practice on to ensure that, while the work may be different, all of our teams are grounded in the same values, beliefs, theories and approaches. Having a well-developed practice model helps to create a common language for the service and enables everyone to understand how we go about doing the right things, in the right way and for the right reasons for children and their families.

 

We are looking for an energetic and creative practitioner who can demonstrate tenacity and enthusiasm in making a positive difference to the lives of children and young people.  The ideal candidate will be committed to working in a child first, strengths-based manor and support children being diverted away from the formal Criminal Justice system. 

 

The post requires skills and experience working with children and families. The successful applicant will be responsible for the case management and assessment of children.  In addition, work with the parents/carers of children will form part of the core work.  As a multi-agency team, it is expected for the post holder to liaise closely with colleagues from partner agencies to ensure a young person’s individual needs are addressed. 

 

There will also be elements of working with different providers in the East Riding to source diversion projects and supporting children to attend these.

 

 

The ideal candidate will have:

  • NVQ2 or equivalent qualification.
  • Experience of working with young people and their families
  • Excellent communication and writing skills
  • The ability to work flexible hours if needed, include evenings and weekends
  • The ability to work as part of a team

 

Appointment to the post is subject to a satisfactory enhanced disclosure from the Criminal Records Bureau and also successful police vetting due to the position base being at Beverley Police Station.
