Opportunity overview
The Authority is awarding a contract for the provision of a Level 4 Youth Justice Worker Qualification. The requirement is for an experienced learning provider to deliver a high-quality, accredited qualification grounded in the principles of trauma-informed practice for up to 500 learners. The provider must demonstrate a strong understanding of the needs and experiences of children in custodial environments, and be responsive to staffing structures, roles, and capability needs within Youth Justice settings and the custodial environment specifically. The Contract length will be six years and four months (a four month implementation period, five years of enrolments and a teach out period of one year) of accredited vocational training in trauma informed practice in Youth Justice, including both theory and effective practice (as outlined in the YJ Skills Matrix) to all frontline officers in the YCS in order to support the specialisation of the workforce. The course will be the equivalent to a Level 4 qualification. The course length will not exceed 12 months. Any learner extensions beyond the agreed duration should be discussed and approved by the Authority and will be provided at no additional cost per learner. The programme must be accessible across all three YOI sites in England (Yorkshire, Midlands and London) with flexibility to deliver face-to-face elements. Each cohort will consist of learners across all three sites; each face-to-face session will be located within 90 minutes travel time of one of these sites. The venue will then rotate between the three sites for each cohort. e.g. session one within 90 minutes of Feltham, session two within 90 minutes of Werrington and session three within 90 minutes of Wetherby.
