Within Targeted Youth Support Service (TYSS) an exciting and rare opportunity has arisen to apply for the post of Deputy Practice Manager – Restorative Approaches after an internal promotion of the current post holder.

We are very committed to restorative approaches, and you could be the next lead manager in this vital service area delivering a strong, embedded restorative culture in all the work we do work with one another and with the children and families experiencing our service.

Your job will involve you further developing our highly valued Restorative Justice Council accredited Restorative Approaches training programme, delivering this across partner agencies and the council.
