Description Permanent contract | full-time 37 hours per week | £27,711 to £30,060 per annum (Grade F) | King’s Lynn Reparation Coordinator Our Norfolk Youth Justice Service (YJS) is a statutory multi-agency partnership hosted within Norfolk County Council to prevent children and young people from offending whilst safeguarding their welfare, protecting the public and helping restore the damage caused to the victims of their crimes. With existing experience of working with children with emotional, behavioural, or offending concerns, as a Reparation Coordinator you will work alongside children who are required to undertake reparation and unpaid work in the local community as part of statutory court orders and formal out of court disposals. You will demonstrate effective and creative engagement skills both on a one to one and group basis, supporting children through this process to develop an understanding of offending behaviour and the impact this can have on victims and the public. You will ensure the efficient allocation of reparation work requirements and will source, liaise, and initiate the development of new community projects that are appropriately restorative, contributing to the pre- and post-sentence process through identification of suitable reparation and unpaid work activity. Working within a multi-agency framework, you will actively promote and co-ordinate access to universal and specialist services for young people and their families. You’ll promote the welfare needs of children and take appropriate action to safeguard them in line with local and national guidance. You will have an understanding of health and safety at work, including relevant legislation, and you’ll have knowledge of equality and diversity legislation including the Equality Act 2010. You will be expected to work flexibly, with a clear expectation of evening, weekend, and bank holiday working. This includes work on a rota basis to cover weekend and bank holiday court and statutory contacts cover.
