The YJB's annual report and accounts for 2013/14 reveal that Ray Hill, who was head of secure accommodation at the YJB, accepted an offer under a "voluntary exit scheme" in March 2014 and subsequently received a voluntary exit payment of between £170,000 and £175,000. It notes that Hill's last day of service was 31 May 2014.
It comes at a time when the organisation has seen its annual budget cut by £55m to £255m in 2014/15.
Hill's exit is less than a year after he made headlines for receiving payments above and beyond his salary.
In 2012/13 he was paid more than £44,000 to cover the cost of journeys from his home in the north west of England to the YJB's headquarters in London.
