The team
The Suffolk Youth Justice Service (SYJS) works with children who are in, or on the edge of the Youth Justice System and is a multi-agency partnership hosted by Suffolk County Council.
The aim is to prevent offending by children and protect the public from the harm caused by their offending. At the same time, the service works to ensure the safety and well-being of these children and to enhance their life aspirations and opportunities. SYJS is working towards becoming a trauma-informed organization. This means that we acknowledge the complexity of trauma and the impact it can have on the children and the families that we work with. As part of this approach, we seek to understand the experiences of our children and their families, as well as the experiences of our own practitioners, and use this understanding to shape our working practices.
Empowering Everyone
We’re big believers in potential, possibility and the power of different ideas. We’re always searching for ways to encourage, respect and enable everyone to be the best they can be. We want to represent the diverse communities we serve. We welcome applications from all individuals, especially those from groups that are currently underrepresented in the organisation, as shown in our Workforce Equality Report.
