We aim to specifically widen access for 14 to 18-year-olds who come from groups which have not traditionally entered health volunteering, such as marginalised young people, those in care, not in education, employment or training or from ethnic minority backgrounds. These are split into two age programmes; 14 - 16 Foundation and 16 - 18 Advanced.

As Project Lead, you will manage individual programme(s), youth support workers, paid and voluntary and you’ll help create a safe, inclusive and open environment where young people can learn important life skills to prepare them for health volunteering.

We aim to deliver the programme face to face, however some virtual delivery maybe required for a blended approach.
