The Children and Young People’s Centre for Justice (CYCJ) works towards ensuring that Scotland’s approach to children and young people in conflict with the law is rights-respecting; contributing to better outcomes for our children, young people and communities. We produce robust ground-breaking work by bringing together children and young people’s contributions, research evidence, practice wisdom and system know-how to operate as a leader for child and youth justice thinking in Scotland and beyond.

CYCJ is looking to recruit a full-time Restorative Justice practice development advisor to work alongside the part-time practice development advisor.  The post is fixed-term for one year; for someone with expertise in developing, supporting and understanding children and young people on the cusp of or involved in offending behaviour, with a particular focus on Restorative Justice.

The Scottish Government have committed to making restorative justice consistently available across Scotland by 2023.  The role of Restorative Justice Practice Development Advisor presents an exciting opportunity to contribute to a hybrid national and local hub model for restorative justice.  This is to be achieved by first demonstrating its success through soft roll out of effective approaches, monitoring and evaluating this and designing a strategy for Scotland-wide implementation by December 2023.
