Youth Justice Practitioner

We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Youth Justice Practitioner to join our supportive, multi-agency team working with children aged 10–17 to prevent offending and reoffending. The Service is a multi-disciplinary team that works both within Children’s Services and the Criminal Justice System. Our over-riding aim is to prevent offending and reoffending by children (10-17 years of age). We work with children who are subject to Out of Court Resolutions and Court Orders (including custodial sentences) and their families, and the victims of youth crime. We do this through a process of engagement, assessment, planning, intervention, review and closure, using a restorative and inclusive approach throughout. Our innovative team requires an enthusiastic and knowledgeable Qualified Youth Justice Practitioner, who would enjoy the challenge of working in this important service for Portsmouth’s children, to cover a fixed term position.
