Change Lead, Youth Sector 

We’re here to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice.  

Key responsibilities

We are making good progress building the evidence of what works within and around the youth sector to reduce violence. With the launch of the new Practice Guidance we are keen to translate evidence recommendations into practice. The greatest risk is that evidence stays on the shelf and doesn’t help young people – your role is to make sure that doesn’t happen.    

You’ll focus on helping local authority commissioners use our tools and guidance in their everyday decisions about youth services. This will involve:  

• Creating clear, practical content like guides, toolkits and workshop materials to support the use of Practice Assessment for the Youth Sector (PAYS).  
• Leading our Practice Guidance programme, working closely with commissioners to help them use evidence in their work.  
• Building strong, trusted relationships with senior leaders across the sector.
