Ideally you will have previous experience in this sector and must hold a Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare (or equivalent). Defined as a “Good” provider by Ofsted, Robins are looking for “Outstanding” staff who will deliver support in a professional, caring way. 

We are a well-established charity that provides an excellent range of staff benefits including 28 days’ annual leave, a company pension scheme, childcare vouchers, staff discount scheme, ongoing training and supervision, continuing professional development and support as well as an extensive induction on commencement of employment. Lifeworks are also accredited Disability Confident Employers. 

Lifeworks is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young adults and they expect all staff to share this commitment. For this post, pre-employment checks will be carried out, references will be sought, and successful candidates will need to undertake an enhanced DBS check.

Art Against Knives are looking for a  Female Senior Youth Worker to support our IN OUR HANDS Programme across the Barnet Borough.

The IN OUR HANDS programme was created by a group of young people from Dollis Valley estate in Barnet in 2012. They suggested running a nail bar that would ‘put Dollis Valley estate on the map for something positive, not just negative things like stabbings’. 7 years later they’ve done just that, the programme has gone onto support over 500 young people.

The act of painting a young person’s nails allows us to build trusted relationships, enabling them to identify and share experiences, including abuse. We bring specialist support to them, within an environment that is accessible, comfortable and part of their everyday life; ensuring they receive the right support from the right people, at the right time.

We currently run 3 community nail/hair bars that are open weekly, providing a huge range of creative activity including masterclasses, showcase opportunities and Arts Award qualifications. As well as an action packed programme of pop-up activity in which we take the nail/har bar’s into community settings to engage with new young people and capture their voices through the co-production of a digital magazine. This role is key to this programme.

Your role is two-fold, you will be responsible for;

1. Delivering high quality youth work to young people across the programme; work directly with young people during sessions, supporting their engagement and responding to their individual needs.
2. Delivering our programme of pop-up activities, coordinating activity and working with multiple partners to ensure safe and effective community engagement.
