Closing date: ~~ActualClosing~~

We require a Social Worker for the South Devon Youth Offending Team, with experience of working with children and young people, to join us here in Newton Abbot, covering Teignbridge and the South Hams.
The team works with children and young people when they have been in trouble with the Police and when they are subject to Orders from the Court. Most of the work takes place in the Community but some cases require working with young people in custodial sentences.
We work with both vulnerable and sometimes challenging clients to divert them from re-offending and committing anti-social behaviour.
You will need an excellent understanding of safeguarding, high levels of creativity, great imagination, excellent communication skills and the ability to recognise and assess the potential for change in a young persons' life.
The YOT is a multi-agency team consisting of Social Workers, a Police Officer, a Probation Officer, a specialist Mental Health Nurse, Victim and Restorative Justice Officers, an Education Welfare Officer, a Parent and Family Guidance Worker, Substance Misuse practitioners and a Speech and Language Therapist. We encourage practitioners to work creatively, have a child centred and restorative ethos and are able to offer a wide variety of opportunities and interventions to the young people on Court Orders.
We expect some evening and occasional weekend working, including attending Youth Court. You will need to be flexible, dynamic, resilient, innovative and highly motivated to join our team. You will also need to demonstrate sound assessment skills and experience of working with CAF is preferred. We work closely with partner agencies, particularly the Police, the Court and schools, and the ability to work a case in a multi-agency way is essential. We offer staff excellent opportunities for training and personal development including regular supervision.
We take a whole family approach and you will also be required to work with parents in supporting and encouraging effective parenting.
Our work is demanding but satisfying and our high rate of success in diverting young people away from re-offending and anti-social behaviour is extremely rewarding. We need someone with the right skills, experience, commitment and enthusiasm to join our team - is that you?

Relief School Escorts

Tue, 27 Sep 2011 23:00:00 GMT

Closing date: ~~ActualClosing~~

Required to work with Devon children in Exeter.
Devon County Council maintains a register of relief school escorts, to cover permanent members of staff who are absent either short or long term. These absences cover sickness, training and personal appointments, not annual leave, so the hours are varied. School escorts are employed to accompany children who have special needs on the journey to and from school. They are responsible for the health, safety and well being of the children between home and school. They therefore need to have initiative, a sense of humour and a genuine interest in children. Escorts are usually picked up and returned home by the school transport vehicle. Therefore, your home post code will be considered before you are sent an application pack. Full training will be provided prior to commencing work.
The hours on the relief register vary, but will be around school opening and closing times, which tend to be in the region of 7am - 10am and 2pm - 5.30pm.

For further information and an application pack please telephone 01392 383615/383577.
