YJS Case Manager

Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of young people? Do you have the skills to guide at-risk youth toward brighter futures? If so, we want you to be a part of our dynamic Youth Justice Service (YJS)!

As a Youth Justice Service Case Manager, you will work closely with young people who are at risk of offending or have already come into contact with the justice system. Your role will be to support, guide, and empower these individuals to make positive choices and achieve their full potential. You’ll develop tailored intervention plans, coordinate with various community resources, and provide ongoing support to help them navigate the challenges they face.

You’ll provide high quality written and verbal reports to the Youth and Crown Courts and support the Service in acting as Court Officer. You will undertake direct work with young people and contribute to the Service’s duty system as appropriate.

For this role, you’ll need at least two years of working with young people open to the YJS and their families. You will have knowledge of safeguarding children issues, Every Child Matters, Children Act 2004, and the Pan Berkshire Child Protection procedure. You must hold a professional qualification relevant to Social Care/Youth Justice/Health/Education/Policy or Probation.

Currently we work on a hybrid basis, with a minimum of 3 days per week based in the office.

If you’re looking for a new challenge and want to be part of an exciting journey to turn children’s services around in Slough then come and join us. In return, we can offer you:

• Training and development opportunities
• Agile working supported by technology
• Flexible working policies
• Friendly working environment and great colleagues.

Slough is one of the most diverse places in the country outside of London and a great place to live or work. In fact it's the best place to live or work according to a survey by Glassdoor. Pleasant environments, above average salaries and a lower cost of living, mean an increased quality of life for employees. We're also one of the most accessible places to be, nestled on the corner of the M25, M4 and M40, and less than 20 minutes by train to Central London.
