We are in the final stages of constructing the space and the initial service design, with the aim to pilot the concept for the next 12 months.
Both services incorporate group work, drop-in activities and co-production to ensure we are making them accessible to young people who may not usually participate in more traditional support models.
The role will work closely with our other operational managers to ensure that our volunteer management, data systems and performance monitoring are best practice.
The role will have line management responsibility for project staff including the Senior Youth Practitioner, Shelter Coordinator and some oversight of volunteers.
