Our Benefits

About The Role

The Programme Co-ordinator is responsible for the development, delivery and evaluation of the Youth Justice Service reparation programmes, group work offer and engagement activities for children and young people known to the Hounslow YJS.

This role liaises with a range of providers to develop new, and maintain existing, generic reparation offers, supports the development of bespoke reparation offers, listens to the wishes of victims and records the reparation undertaken by children and young people.

In response to offending behaviour, we may provide specific individual or group work activities that support the child to understand the impact of an offence on them, a victim or their community and provide opportunities for desistence. The role supports the development of this and will liaise closely with providers.

We want to better engage with children and their families so we can hear their views and experiences about the services we provide, and the Programme Co-ordinator takes a lead in developing this work. This includes having responsibility for planning and managing a small budget linked to this work, planning activities to engage with children and taking the lead for participation in the Youth Crime Management Board.

About The Team You’ll Be Working In

The principal aim of the Programme Coordinator is to prevent and reduce the involvement of children in criminal and anti-social behaviour. The Hounslow Youth Justice Service (YJS) has a duty to protect the public and to safeguard children from harm, and this role forms an integral part of meeting this duty.

The Youth Justice Service is a multi-disciplinary Team, which includes Social Workers, Probation Officers, Police Officers, Substance Mis-Use Workers, and Health professionals and works closely with a wide range of other professionals, including the Courts. The Service sits within the wider Children’s Specialist and Safeguarding Department.

The Team is based at Hounslow House, a modern office building in central Hounslow which is busy multi-cultural community with good transport connections. There is an opportunity for office based and home working, dependent on the needs of the service. The Team is committed to hearing the voices of the children we work with and their families to develop and improve the service we offer.

About You

You will have good communication skills and be able to work confidently with children, their parents/carers, professionals and providers. You will be able to develop creative opportunities for children and young people to engage in a range of developmentally and culturally appropriate activities that support their desistence from crime and anti-social behaviour. You will have the skills to induct and

manage volunteers and sessional workers who will support the delivery of the programmes and other activities with children and young people.

You will understand the challenges affecting children and young people and how other factors such as peers or group offending can impact on this, along with positive factors that can support good outcomes for children.

You will be able to write reports, capture data and professionally and confidently represent the service. You have the ability to lead on the development on capturing how the voice of the child and young person informs on-going service delivery, e.g. Junior Youth Crime Management Board (YCMB), holiday activities.

In return we offer induction to the service and the work required, monthly professional supervision and team meetings, an opportunity to be a part of a multi-disciplinary service, and a strong training offer which could lead to gaining professionally recognised qualifications. This is an ideal opportunity to grow and develop your practice and contribute to positive outcomes for Hounslow’s children and young people.
