Your role as the Facilities Assistant in Restore is a commitment to bettering the outcomes of vulnerable children and imparting your knowledge and experience onto others to better the system of care in the youth secure estate.

We recognise this role is unique and does not exist as such within the youth justice sectors. From our experience of building new organisations from scratch – and of developing schools – we have learnt that we need to be agile and respond to learning and development of our structures. We welcome and expect on-going dialogue with the successful candidate to refine and develop the detail of these responsibilities to ensure it reflects and the needs and demands of the post.
