The North Yorkshire Youth Justice Service is an
established and successful countywide multi-agency
partnership, responsible for preventing youth crime
and reducing re-offending. We are currently seeking
an experienced professional case manager to join our
Eastern area team, based in Scarborough.
We provide a range of services to young offenders

young offenders, community-based rehabilitation of
convicted young people, and intensive management of
high-risk young people.
We are looking for a committed, flexible and
creative professional, preferably with a
qualification in Social Work, Probation, Youth Work
or an equivalent field. Positive engagement &
motivation skills gained through previous experience
of working with troubled young people are essential.
The Youth Justice Service uses an electronic case

casework within a structured assessment system,
including good case recording and keyboard skills.
You will manage a mixed caseload of young people,
ensuring that each of them receives high standards
of assessment & intervention, and that our
safeguarding & public protection duties are fully
met. You will also have opportunities to explore new
areas of practice, including restorative justice,
participation and groupwork activity, and to work
closely with a wide range of partner agencies.
The successful applicant will enjoy high standards
of training and managerial support, and a supportive
working team environment within well-equipped
offices. Flexible working is positively supported to
meet the needs of our service users and staff. The
post is to cover maternity leave for a period of up
to 12 months. The successful candidate will be
subject to an enhanced CRB clearance.

The North Yorkshire Youth Justice Service (YJS) is
an established and successful countywide
multi-agency partnership, responsible for preventing
youth crime and reducing re-offending. We provide a
range of services to young people and their
families, as well as to the victims of youth crime.
This includes early diversion of first time young
offenders, community-based rehabilitation of
convicted young people, and intensive management of
high-risk young people
We are looking for a committed, flexible and
creative professional. A professional qualification
in Social Work, Probation or an equivalent field is
desirable but not essential. Previous experience of
working with troubled or challenging young people
and a full driving licence and access to a motor
vehicle for work purposes are essential, as your
duties will include work in rural locations away
from the main office base. (The Team covers
Harrogate/Craven/Northallerton and Richmond)
Reparation work is undertaken by young people who
offend as part of their YJS programmes either
through involvement in group-based community
projects or by providing reparation directly to the
victim/s.
You will be responsible for establishing, planning,
assessing, managing and publicising reparation
projects in partnership with community groups,
public services and businesses, with the key purpose
of enabling young people to make amends for their
behaviour directly or indirectly.
Although reparation projects will be primarily
supervised by YJS volunteers, it is essential that
applicants have a practical/hands-on approach, and
are able to work confidently and flexibly in a wide
range of settings. This will sometimes include
direct work with challenging young people.
