YCS is geographically dispersed with boys and girls aged under 18 years accommodated in a variety of sites including: HMYOIs Feltham (Heathrow), Wetherby (Yorkshire) and Oakhill Secure Training Centre (STC). YCS Psychology Services provide a spectrum of services across all sites with staff based in all YOIs and the STC. Other posts also provide a service across all sites and require a willingness to travel given YCS is geographically dispersed across England and Wales.

YCS Senior Psychologists also have responsibilities to line manage and supervise Forensic Psychologists in Training.

Whilst motivation and the required resilience to work with children is therefore essential, experience is only desirable as full training and support will be provided. As part of the wider Psychology Services Group (PSG), opportunities for successful applicants to work with other populations and across other functions are abundant.
