Job description

Can you inspire, energise and motivate young people aged 9–18?
Do you want to make a genuine difference while being part of a supportive, values-driven team?

If so, we’d love to hear from you!

One YMCA Youth Clubs provide safe, inclusive spaces where young people can socialise, build confidence, and develop skills for life. We are looking for a Youth Development Worker to support the delivery of engaging youth work sessions and contribute to the growth of our youth offer, including the opening of new clubs in Bedford town centre.

The Role

Reporting to the Senior Youth Development Worker, you will support the planning and delivery of a range of youth work activities. This is a hands-on role working directly with young people, helping to create welcoming, fun and meaningful sessions that reflect the YMCA Youth Work Strategy and Principles.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone passionate about youth work who wants to develop their skills in a supportive environment. Training and ongoing support will be provided.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the planning, delivery and evaluation of youth work activities for young people aged 9–18
  • Deliver a range of youth work activities, including centre-based sessions, outreach, school-linked programmes, mentoring and digital engagement
  • Build positive, trusted relationships with young people, offering encouragement, guidance and support
  • Assist with projects and new youth club development in Bedford town centre
  • Maintain accurate records of attendance, engagement and outcomes to support monitoring and reporting
  • Promote safeguarding, equality, inclusion and positive behaviour in all aspects of delivery

About You

You don’t need to be fully qualified - what matters most is your enthusiasm, reliability, and commitment to young people.

You will be:

  • Passionate about supporting children and young people
  • Confident engaging with young people in group settings
  • Willing to learn and develop your youth work skills
  • Able to work as part of a team and follow safeguarding procedures
  • Experience working with young people (paid or voluntary) is desirable but not essential.

Hours and Contract

  • Part-time role
  • 10 hours per week, paid on a monthly salaried basis
  • Working pattern includes evenings and weekends, with most sessions taking place after school

Additional Information

  • Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK (no visa sponsorship available)
  • This role may require a Basic or Enhanced DBS check following a conditional offer
  • Applications will be reviewed as received, so early application is encouraged

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion: At One YMCA, we are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and aim to create a working environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

Accessibility & Adjustments: We are happy to make reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process. Please let us know if you need any support to apply or attend an interview.
