ETE Turnaround Officer

Role Responsibility

In October, the Ministry of Justice announced a new investment to prevent children entering the Youth Justice system.

In Kent, our approach to the ‘Turn Around’ programme will be to enhance our Adolescent Early Help offer by providing specialist education, training, and employment support, to maximise attendance, engagement, and attainment of a target group of children.

Each ETE Officer will be aligned to, and working alongside, the 6 Adolescent Early Help units, and line managed by the Practice Supervisor.

We’re looking for motivated and skilled people with a mixture of excellent knowledge of the education, training, and employment landscape (including legislation and practice in relation to part-time tables, inclusion, and attendance), with the resilience to offer excellent hands-on, practical support directly to children and their families.  

Further information about the national Turn Around programme is available online. 

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position. The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements. The appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification.
