Are you passionate about helping young people turn their lives around?



Cumberland Council is looking for a committed and compassionate Youth Offending Team Officer to join our multi-agency Youth Offending Service.

You'll be part of a supportive, multidisciplinary team that values collaboration, flexibility, and continuous professional development. If you're ready to help shape brighter futures for young people across Cumberland, we'd love to hear from you.
