Job description

Support young people at a new pop‑up youth service in London

About the project: We are creating a pop‑up youth service offering safe, welcoming spaces for young people in London. We are looking for a Youth Worker who is passionate about supporting young people’s wellbeing, confidence, and development.

The role: You will help deliver positive, engaging sessions by:

  • Supporting young people during activities, workshops, and drop‑ins

  • Building trusting, respectful relationships with young people

  • Helping create a safe, inclusive, youth‑led environment

  • Assisting with session planning and activity ideas

  • Supporting safeguarding and behaviour management

  • Helping set up and pack down pop‑up sessions

Who this role suits: Someone who enjoys working directly with young people and has a calm, supportive approach. Experience in youth work, mentoring, education, or community work is helpful but not required. Training can be provided.

Accessibility & support: The founder experiences anxiety and dyslexia, so a collaborative, patient working style is appreciated. You will be part of a small, supportive team committed to making a positive difference.

Time commitment: Flexible — ideally available for 2–4 hours per session, with sessions taking place weekly or fortnightly.
