We are looking for enthusiastic, experienced and skilled individuals to become part of our youth work team to help us facilitate a wide range of sessions and activities with our young people. To expand our current offer we are ideally looking for youth workers who are able to bring additional skills. The main areas we are looking to develop are: the Duke of Edinburgh Award, Sports and Fitness, Cooking, Schools Work, Homework Support, Music, Arts & Crafts and Mentoring. We are not looking for a superhero - any one of these skills would be welcomed. The role will involve working face to face with 8-19 year olds and will predominantly be out of school hours (evenings and weekends). Take a look at our social media to get a better glimpse of our work in action (see links at end of this pack).
