The Youth Endowment Fund Senior Change Manager, Youth Justice Reports to: Change Lead for Diversion Salary: £52,700 per annum Location: Central London or Hybrid (see below) Contract: (2-year fixed term - potential to extend) Closing date for applications: 12pm Monday 12th January 2026 Interview dates: Week commencing 26th January 2026 About the Youth Endowment Fund 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. In recent years violent crime has risen significantly. Homicides, assaults, robberies and offences involving weapons have all seen sustained growth. We have also seen large increases in violent crime involving children and young people. This is a tragedy. Every child captured in these numbers is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them. The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. We exist to prevent children becoming involved in violence. Our mission is to find what works and build a movement to put it into practice. A big part of the movement that we need to build is in the world of youth justice. We need to inspire and connect with youth justice leaders across England and Wales to spread what works and make our country safer for some of our most vulnerable children. We are looking for someone to lead on making this happen. Key Responsibilities We are making good progress building the evidence of what works within and around youth justice to reduce violence. This year, in conjunction with the Centre for Justice Innovation, we published Diversion Practice Guidance and have recently launched our new self-evaluation tool for diversion practice ( ORPIC ). But the big risk is that we publish these resources and nothing changes. That's where you come in. Your role is to work out the best way to make this change happen by getting youth justice services (YJSs) and police forces to adopt evidence-based practice through our new change programme: the Whole Area Model (WAM). WAM helps police forces and youth justice services strengthen diversion practices by aligning their work with the 7 C's: Culture - A child-centred, pro-diversion ethos Contact - Interactions are trauma-informed and maximise prevention and safeguarding opportunities Custody - Considered use of police custody, prioritising alternatives and swift triage. Criteria - Clear, consistent eligibility for diversion. Collaboration - Multi-agency decision-making panels; shared protocols and referral pathways. Care - Evidence-based support, monitoring engagement, closing cases responsibly. Checks - Ongoing monitoring, evaluation, and scrutiny to ensure quality and equity. Your role will involve: Supporting the delivery of the Whole Area Model through activities like: Facilitating completions of diversion self-evaluations with youth justice services and police forces. Delivering training to youth justice, police and other relevant agencies about the evidence-base or specific areas of diversionary practice and governance (e.g. scrutiny panels). Supporting the ongoing development of a National Diversion Network, which will contribute to a wider repository of diversion resources and evidence Identifying and creating practical resources which help youth justice professionals and police officers to put evidence into practice. Developing great relationships with senior leaders, youth justice workers and police officers, generating a strong understanding of key issues and needs in relation to youth justice matters, and building credibility and trust with the sector. Working out other effective ways to connect people with the evidence, then making those things happen, from virtual learning events to presentations. As a senior member of staff in the organisation you also: Build a culture where it is natural to perform well and support colleagues brilliantly. Contribute to setting the strategy, delivering results and building and modelling the culture that we need to succeed. About You You must have this sort of experience: You've changed frontline practice and/or systems: Y ouhave significant experience in leading behaviour, practice or policy changes within a youth justice setting. You can show how these have been effective in delivering tangible change. You're working in or around the youth justice service, preferably in a role/setting specifically working with children who are vulnerable to or involved in violence. You work well in multi-agency environments: You have experience collaborating across police, youth justice, local authorities and other partners, and you can communicate confidently with a wide range of stakeholders to build alignment and drive change. You might have this sort of experience: Supporting a youth justice team/service to reflect on and adopt evidence-based practice in relation to diversion or wider youth justice activities. You are this sort of person: You are fascinated about change and are experienced in making it happen. You have outstanding analytical judgment alongside the emotional intelligence and experience needed to identify the right opportunities for change, then make them happen. You understand why people find change difficult. You come alive talking about how people make decisions and why they do the things they do. You understand the youth justice sector and diversion specifically. You really understand how the youth justice sector works, from leaders to frontline officers. You write in a way that people easily understand. You have that rare skill of writing in plain English. You have experience of translating complex information into plain writing that everyone can understand.
