Bexley Youth Offending Service (YOS) works with other agencies including the police, health and schools to help keep young people aged between 10 and 17 years out of trouble.

If a young person does offend, we work with them, their families and anyone else affected by the crime to try and prevent them from offending again.

We are seeking sessional workers to assist with the supervision of young people, particularly in the evenings, weekends and bank holidays. This involves direct reparation, 1:1 or group work with young people who are at risk of (re-) offending and their families and with a range of partner agencies including the police and third sector

Preferably, with a youth service qualification, you will have experience of working with children and families and have excellent organisational, ICT and communication skills.

It is important that you have a creative and flexible approach, good time management skills and the ability to forge effective partnerships with other agencies and the voluntary sector.  Attendance at evenings, weekends and bank holidays will be required.

Come and join us if you have the drive to succeed and want to be part of a Youth Offending Service that builds on success and performance to ensure that excellent services to young people their parents and carers, victims and the wider community, continue to be delivered, here in the London Borough of Bexley.
