Purpose of the Job:
Turn Around is a national crime-prevention programme, with a commitment by the Ministry of Justice for funding, initially until the end of March 2025. The programme is aimed at bolstering the holistic Early Help response to children who are at risk of offending and re-offending but have not previously received statutory Youth Justice intervention. The programme requires accurate, timely data returns and evaluation.
In Kent, our approach will enhance the Adolescent Early Help offer to those children who meet the MOJ ‘Turn Around’ criteria.
Turn Around staff will represent the Local Authority in constructively challenging and supporting ETE providers to progress part time timetables to meet the needs of children so that those children can succeed in ETE, be aspirational for their future, and desist from offending and reoffending.
The post holder is respoible for supporting children and families, engaging and motivating parents and carers to encourage their children to engage in suitable education, training and employment (ETE).
Main duties and responsibilities:
Connect2Staff/Connect2Kent, part of Commercial Services Trading/Kent Ltd, is an equal opportunities Employment Agency & Business and positively encourages applications from all suitably qualified and eligible candidates.
