The Youth Justice Service is a specialist multi-agency team responsible for the assessment, support and risk management of children who present serious or repeated offending behaviour, and also for targeted diversion support to children at risk of entry.
We do not separate or stigmatise challenging, risky behaviour in North Yorkshire, but recognise it as unmet need. Our youth justice provision is therefore integrated within the Council's Early Help service to ensure seamless support, using a shared model of advanced systemic and relational practice.
The postholder would also join a large and supportive network of clinicians working in CAMHS across North Yorkshire and York.

The post holder will provide consultation, teaching, training to health and local authority colleagues and psychological assessment and intervention to young people who present with a range of risks and needs.
Successful applicant will be responsible for delivering a highstandardwill also have an understanding of relevant legislation (e.g. Mental Health Act, Mental Capacity Act, Children Act 1989, 2004), detailed understanding of Safeguarding and Clinical Risk Assessment and Management and its application in practice. The ability to make balanced decisions and use positive risk taking approaches, whilst managing potentially high pressure situations is an essential part of this role. Providing specialist knowledge and support to the team and wider multi-agency colleagues is also integral.
