Job description

Help deliver fun, safe, supportive sessions for young people in London

About the project: We are launching a pop‑up youth service for young people in London. We are looking for an Assistant Youth Worker to support session delivery and help create a positive environment for young people.

The role: You will support the Youth Worker and founder by:

  • Welcoming young people and helping them feel comfortable

  • Assisting with activities, games, and workshops

  • Helping maintain a safe, inclusive space

  • Supporting young people one‑to‑one or in small groups

  • Helping with basic admin, set‑up, and pack‑down

  • Observing and feeding back any concerns or ideas

Who this role suits: Someone friendly, patient, and enthusiastic about supporting young people. No previous youth work experience is required — just a willingness to learn and a supportive attitude.

Accessibility & support: This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being part of a team. The founder experiences anxiety and dyslexia, so clear communication and a calm, supportive approach are appreciated.

Time commitment: Flexible — 2–4 hours per session, weekly or fortnightly.
