2 June 2022

You will be working with children and young people (10-17) who have been referred by the Youth Justice Service. This will include one to one and group based work.

You will be providing support, encouragement and supervision to enable children and young people to undertake ‘community reparation’ work. This can take many formsenvironmental projects, arts based projects, awareness raising campaigns, supporting local charity work etc.

The role of a Restorative Justice Practitioner involves a significant amount of contact with people affected by crime. The work will involve:

Working with individuals who may be the victim or perpetrator of a crime.
First contact is usually initiated over the phone, which may lead to face to face visits
Supporting individuals to enable them to communicate effectively with each other and;
Facilitating a process which helps reduce harm and enables individuals to move forward from what has happened – This is a process known as Restorative Justice
Restorative justice can be facilitated through a face to face meeting or indirectly via the Practitioner.

Please see Remedi's YouTube Channel ‘Restorative TV’ for real life examples of the kinds of work they do.

The role is based across Humberside, so expect to travel. You will need to be able to drive and have access to your own vehicle.

You will be working- in peoples’ homes, in Probation/Police premises, in local community venues and in prisons. Full training will be provided to build your awareness and confidence in each of these settings.

You will have a line manager who you will meet individually at least once a month and they will also be available during the week to provide support and guidance.
