Youth Justice Practitioner Level 5

 

About Us

Unitas is the largest provider of vocational youth justice distance learning courses and degrees in the UK.  Our Youth Justice Practitioner Apprenticeship (YJPA) will combine academic rigour with practical relevance. All our courses are designed by leading academics in conjunction with experienced managers and practitioners.  

Unitas will work with the employer and apprentice to equip them with the knowledge, skills and behaviours (KSBs) that they will need to perform their job role and ultimately attain the YJPA.  An additional qualification that can be achieved alongside the YJPA is the Foundation Degree in Youth Justice (FDYJ).  

Apprentices may be completely new to the Youth Justice Practitioner (YJP) role.  They may already be employed within the organisation and have some youth justice experience and would therefore use the Apprenticeship as a development and upskilling opportunity. 

The employer may appoint a mentor, and other colleagues may be involved in the apprenticeship learning journey.  This will help the apprentice acquire the skills and behaviours that are necessary to perform their YJ role. 

Unitas will provide the learning materials, and it is important that apprentices, employers and Unitas work together to ensure the apprentice is supported for a successful outcome.  The apprentice will gain nationally recognised qualifications and develop highly sought after knowledge and skills.
