You will work closely with other Rebound colleagues including healthcare, education and Youth Offending Services Teams. You will also deal with external agencies such as social workers, Psychologists, Substance Misuse Workers and Youth Justice Board personnel.

Do I need previous experience in this type of work?

We welcome applications from people from a variety of backgrounds who have life experience. You must however have real commitment to work with children and young people and make a positive difference to their lives. Your positive attitude and motivation is essential and our training programme is designed to equip you with the skills needed for the job as well as practical experience.

What training will I receive?

You will attend our comprehensive Youth Justice Board (YJB) approved Initial Training Course (ITC) which covers skills such as communication, security, first aid and Physical Control in Care (PCC). The ITC is followed by shadow training where you will be paired with an experienced colleague in order to gain
practical experience in all aspects of the job.

What will my job title be?

Rebound currently manages three Secure Training Centres (STCs) in the UK, so your job title will be either Training Centre Assistant or Secure Care Officer, depending on which STC you work at. The job titles are different because of the way that the contracts operate, however both roles are exactly
the same.
