Using Anonymous Recruitment
This organisation is using Anonymous Recruitment to reduce bias in the first stages of the hiring process. Our system keeps your personal information hidden until the recruiter contacts you.
In summary, you are:
-
Excited about the potential of a new generation of young working-class leaders.

Eager to work for an organisation that isn’t afraid to take risks and places young people front and centre in its work.

Passionate about building a country where working-class people are heard, celebrated for our strength and diversity and aren’t held back by our backgrounds.
About us:
RECLAIM is a bold charity that is committed to building a fair and just world for and with all working-class young people. We build knowledge, power, community and solidarity to campaign on the issues that affect them the most. We do this in three ways:
Community - Creating spaces that grow a sense of belonging and solidarity.
Campaigns - Challenging institutions, systems and structures.
Consultancy - Supporting organisations to become class-inclusive.
Our changemaking work includes:
-
We supported young people to successfully campaign for free bus travel for all 16-18 year olds across Greater Manchester. A policy which now benefits 40,000 young people, making 250,000 free journeys per week and saving them and their families an average of over £500 per young person per year.
-
We helped young people highlight and challenge the increasing use of violent and dehumanising language in politics. The campaign gained widespread media coverage and resulted in new commitments from the Speaker, Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition.
-
Young people we support were at the forefront of highlighting the impact of COVID19 on working-class communities and demanding better recognition of the essential workers keeping the country going during lockdown.
We are seeking a Youth Worker who can work alongside our Campaign Programmes Team with young people in Greater Manchester. This will involve project based outreach youth work, designing and delivering sessions and activities, holding 1-1s with young people and participation in other elements of RECLAIM work. The post holder will be required to deliver regular sessions across different locations in Greater Manchester in the evenings and, at times, the weekend.
Job description:
-
Supporting the Campaigns Programmes Manager by feeding into the development, delivery and implementation of different projects, programmes and campaigns.
-
Using existing and bespoke evaluation tools and methods to judge the success of the programme and working to improve RECLAIM’s work with young people.
-
Ensuring our work is in compliance with all relevant health and safety laws and RECLAIM’s policies on safeguarding.
-
Developing and delivering innovative one-to-one, small group and large group work with young people to promote their development according to RECLAIM’s mission, including sourcing materials and facilitators, as well as coordinating/supporting volunteers and mentors where appropriate.
-
Developing close links with appropriate individuals, organisations, and statutory bodies in the communities in which RECLAIM works to create a conducive environment for RECLAIM’s work with young people.
Person specification:
We are looking for someone who:
Essential
Has a strong belief in the potential of working-class young people to be leaders of change.
Enjoys being flexible within their job role, working on projects, and leading sessions in schools and communities.
Has an understanding of the social, cultural and economical barriers working class young people face.
Has the ability to use conversation, activity and environments to work with young people to develop critical thinking, reflection, learning, action and change.
Has experience of outreach youth work, working within schools, individual and group work.
Experience of monitoring and evaluating effectively to demonstrate impact.
Experience of safeguarding young people.
Is able to work on your own initiative and as part of a team and be able to work flexibly to meet the needs of the young people and RECLAIM
Has great organisational skills when working both independently and as part of a team.
Desirable
Has a strong knowledge, appreciation and practical experience of ‘informal education’, which may be supported by a professional qualification.
Has experience of working with young people in a pastoral care and development role.
Not familiar with the term working class?
No problem, lots of people aren't. It means different things to different people but for us at RECLAIM being working-class is characterised by a few key factors:
-
You're on, or grew up on, a low income with limited access to wealth.
-
You don't have many family connections to people with well paid, professional or powerful jobs.
-
You find it harder to 'fit in' in middle-class spaces, interests and conversations.
-
You're proud of your background and want people to see it as a strength, not a weakness
While working-class people have many of these things in common, we're a diverse bunch too. Working-class people are white, black and brown, LGBT+, disabled, recent migrants or refugees or from families who can trace their roots in the UK back generations, of various religions or none, women, men and non-binary. We're many things but we share the experience of growing up facing those four factors above.
At RECLAIM we don't mind if people publicly identify as working-class or not, that's completely up to them.
You don’t need to be working-class to do this role or work at RECLAIM. Our work has always involved brilliant working-class allies. We do, though, especially encourage applications from people with direct experience of being marginalised by class and/or some other factor as we work to ensure our staff team is diverse as the young people we are here to support.
To apply:
Please send a CV and cover letter outlining how you meet the person specification via Charity Job application link.
The closing date for applications is Sunday 30th June 2024 at 10pm.
If you have questions or would like an informal conversation about the role please get in touch via the RECLAIM website.
Unfortunately due to being a very small team, we are unable to notify or offer feedback to unsuccessful applicants in the initial stages. If you have not heard from us by Tuesday 9th July then it is likely that your application has been unsuccessful. We thank you for your interest in working for RECLAIM.
We build knowledge, power, community and solidarity with working-class young people to campaign on the issues that affect them the most.

We have been operating in the area for a number of years and offer a staffed service to our residents aged 18 and upwards.

Responsible for helping and inspiring the people who use our services to maintain their tenancy and independence in the community, we’ll rely on you to work with them to come up with a personal support plan that will see them achieve their goals and aspirations. Whether it’s developing their domestic and finance management skills or accessing work, leisure or educational opportunities, one thing’s for sure ‐ you will have every chance to shine.
Relevant experience is required and candidates with an understanding of mental health issues and/or lived experience would be welcomed. More important is your caring and compassionate nature and empathy and enthusiasm for helping others. Whatever your background, you’ll need to be happy to work both independently and within a team and willing to be part of a weekly rota system and available for on call duties.
In return for your skills and enthusiasm, this role comes with some really great benefits and excellent training and development opportunities.
This is a permanent, part-time role requiring the post holder to work 18.5 hours per week.
We are committed to increasing our diversity and welcome applications from those with Lived Experience.
