We are currently seeking a Team Manager to lead our North Nottinghamshire locality Youth Justice team. First rate communication skills coupled with child-centred values are essential. Partnership working is at the core of Youth Justice work, thus the ability to work with and influence professionals in a variety of settings is a core skill set.

The successful candidate will also have excellent skills in relation to working with young people and families, sound knowledge and understanding of criminal justice and proven experience of working to address risks and needs within the family setting.

Core elements of the role include:

  • Management of day-to-day operations and performance of the North Youth Justice Team in the delivery of statutory interventions
  • Taking a lead on development, performance and partnership working, including close working with HMCTS, Police and Health agencies
  • Working with the YJS service manager to manage the locality team budget
  • Supervising a case management team and working in close liaison with colleagues from other agencies to improve outcomes for children
  • Contributing to and leading on service-wide development and identifying actions to improve service delivery
  • Writing and contributing to reports and policy documentation

Furthermore, this post requires a formal relevant professional qualification e.g. Social work, Probation or an NVQ Level 4 or equivalent in a closely related field.

The post holder will provide regular quality assurance and supervision to case managers assessing, planning and delivering work with some of the highest needs and most complex young people within our communities and custodial settings.

Performance management is a key accountability of the role and the successful candidate will need to be confident in reporting to the YJS Partnership Board and the wider management team regarding performance in the North Locality and with regard to the any specialist areas assigned.

Appointment to this post is subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check.
