Job description

One YMCA provides housing, health, wellbeing, children’s, youth and community services across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. We are committed to helping people reach their full potential and strengthening communities through inclusive, high-quality programmes.

Do you enjoy leading sessions, supporting colleagues, and shaping meaningful opportunities for young people?

We are seeking a Senior Youth Development Worker to support the development and delivery of One YMCA’s Universal Youth Work provision in Bedford.

The Role

Reporting to the Youth Work Coordinator, you will play a key role in delivering high-quality youth work for young people aged 9–18. You will lead engaging sessions, support and supervise sessional youth workers, and contribute to the growth and development of One YMCA’s youth work offer in line with the YMCA Youth Work Strategy.

This is a hands-on role combining direct youth work, team support, and partnership engagement. You will help ensure young people feel safe, included, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Key Responsibilities

  • Plan, deliver and evaluate inclusive youth work sessions for young people aged 9–18
  • Lead sessions and act as a positive role model for young people
  • Support and supervise sessional youth workers during delivery

  • Confidence leading group sessions and supporting small teams
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills
  • An understanding of inclusive and safeguarding-led practice
  • A Level 3 Youth Work qualification, or willingness to work towards one (essential)

Hours and Contract

  • Part-time role
  • 18 hours per week, salaried on a monthly basis
  • Working pattern is flexible but will include evenings and weekends, with most delivery taking place after school

Additional Information

  • Interviews will be held on a rolling basis, so early application is encouraged
  • Applicants must already have the right to work in the UK (visa sponsorship is not available)
  • This role may require a Basic or Enhanced DBS check, subject to a conditional offer
