Summary
Who are we?
The Youth Justice Board for England and Wales (YJB) is the public body which advises Ministers, including the Secretary of State for Justice on the youth justice system. Our ambition is to see a Child First youth justice system. A system which looks to children’s’ strengths and supports children to become the best version of themselves. To this effect we engage with a wide variety of organisations, partners and parties with an interest in youth justice; we share good practice, champion improvement and issue grants.
Our Vision
Working to ensure a youth justice system that sees children as children, treats them fairly and helps them to build on their strengths so they can make a constructive contribution to society. This will prevent offending and create safer communities with fewer victims.
Aims of the Youth Justice System
Prevention of offending by children and young people:
• To reduce the number of children in the youth justice system
• To reduce reoffending by children in the youth justice system
• To improve the safety and wellbeing of children in the youth justice system
• To improve outcomes of children in the youth justice system

We continue to strive for equity, diversity and inclusion in our culture and our staff group. To this end we very much encourage applications from those people with protected characteristics. Our staff are public servants, eligible for the Civil Service pension scheme and we are accredited by the Civil Service Commission. We welcome applications from those who do not currently work in the civil service or the public sector.
Role Purpose:-
Your role is key in making sure the YJB can fulfil its statutory duty to provide advice to ministers on the youth justice system and promote effective practice.
Your work will contribute toward our aims of:
• reducing the disproportionate number of ethnic minority children in the youth justice system,
• reducing re-offending,
• improving resettlement,
• advising on the reduction of serious violence,
• advising on improvements in the way the sector operates and
• working toward a Child First approach in the youth justice system.
Role Context:
You will work within our Operations directorate and will work collaboratively with others in the youth justice sector and in the YJB to deliver the Oversight framework which entails supporting youth justice partnerships (YOTs), analysing data and gathering intelligence to support the monitoring of performance and engaging appropriately to drive up performance. You will oversee services within the North West region. You may also be required to provide cover across the wider North directorate as and when required.
