A "Day in the life" from a current Criminal Justice Team Lead:

"No two days are ever the same in the Criminal Justice Team – and that’s exactly what makes the work so dynamic and rewarding.
As a Criminal Justice Team Leader, each day starts with a clear purpose. Mornings may begin with a team check-in, where priorities are discussed, urgent cases identified, and support needs addressed. The rest of the day can be as varied as the individuals we support. One moment you might be coaching a team member through a complex client case or facilitating a reflective supervision session. The next, you could be reviewing service data to ensure performance indicators are being met or working with the Criminal Justice Manager to refine a process that improves efficiency or enhances service delivery. Another aspect of Team Leader Day is multi-agency meetings, responding to emerging safeguarding concerns, or supporting a recovery worker through a challenging day.

The Criminal Justice Team Leader role involves working closely with a range of key partners and professional settings, including Probation services, court systems, police custody suites, and other criminal justice agencies.

Ultimately, being a Criminal Justice Team Leader means shaping a service that changes lives – for the people we support and the professionals delivering that support. It’s a role full of challenges, growth, and the daily reminder that meaningful change is always possible."
