Young People's Interview Panels

When the City of York Council is hiring staff to work with children and young people, it’s really important that young people are involved to help make sure that the right person gets the job.

You have the opportunity to be part of a young person’s interview panel. We hold panels that interview Social Workers, Independent Reviewing Officers, Social Work Managers and many more!

 

The young person’s interview panel runs alongside the professional’s interview panel. As part of the panel, you’ll interview all of the people that are applying for the job. You’ll then meet with the professional’s interview panel, share your feedback, and then together decide who is the right person for the job.

 

Before taking part in the interview panels, you’ll be given training and support from Speak Up.
