Youth Worker SEND

At InterAct, we work with children, young people and adults who struggle to enjoy activities that other young people take for granted. Our overall aim is to inform, support and empower people to increase their independence, enhance choice and control, and to realise their aspirations as well as play a full part in society.

Our mission is to enable those with learning disabilities, autism and other additional needs to develop their potential and enjoy socially inclusive fulfilled lives. We are passionate about our work and provide a variety of social and leisure activities to suit all interests.

We are currently seeking a Project Support Officer to take responsibility for the co-ordination and delivery of youth club activities within the Mid Essex area including Chelmsford, Maldon and across the Dengie peninsular. The role will involve working closely with the Young People Services Manager with the development and delivery of activities in the Mid and North areas of Essex.
