About Depaul UK
In the 1980s, high unemployment and steep inflation was contributing to a shocking rise in youth homelessness across London. Thousands of young people were sleeping rough every night, with many areas notoriously dubbed “cardboard cities” due to the visible rise in street homelessness. Appalled by the scenes playing out across the capital, a group of people came together to tackle the challenge head on. Led by Cardinal Basil Hume and Mark McGreevy OBE, in 1989 Depaul UK was born.
What began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, Depaul UK provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year.
As our name suggests, the work of Depaul UK has been inspired by St. Vincent de Paul – a man who devoted his life to helping vast numbers of people throughout the 17th century. St. Vincent de Paul’s belief in the intrinsic worth of all people and his commitment to taking bold action remain central to our values today. Depaul UK now forms part of a family of Depaul charities around the world. We each focus on the specific challenges in our own countries, but we’re united by our shared values and mission to end homelessness.

As our Senior Youth Worker (Sports), you’ll have the rare chance to help design a brand‑new youth provision from the ground up, bringing your ideas, energy, and passion straight into a community that’s ready for something fresh.
You won’t be boxed in. You’ll lead sessions your way, influence how the programme grows, and work in a close‑knit team where your voice actually matters. With over 100 young people already engaging weekly across our sites, you’ll step into a role where relationships are real, creativity is encouraged, and your leadership directly shapes young people’s confidence, wellbeing, and opportunities.
If you want to make sport the spark that changes lives — this is your space.
Our Mission
Riverview Charitable Trust supports families, children, and young people in the community to thrive. Through services and initiatives, we empower individuals, strengthen family relationships, and create opportunities for young people to grow, learn, and succeed.
We are expanding our youth provision into West Thurrock, and we’re looking for an experienced, energetic Senior Youth Worker with a Sports background to help us put sport at the heart of what we do. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves working with young people, thrives in active environments, and can confidently lead day‑to‑day delivery across multiple sites.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
• Lead delivery on our sports programmes across two vibrant sites, creating sessions that young people genuinely want to show up for.
• Play a key role in Riverview’s expansion into West Thurrock, helping us build something new, exciting, and community‑driven from the ground up.
• Take sport into the streets and into young people’s spaces, using outreach, pop‑ups, and creative engagement to connect with those who need us most.
