• Provide coaching, mentoring, and reflective support to staff to strengthen practice and confidence.
• Support the Centre Manager with staff development and performance processes through practice-based feedback and reflective support during delivery, where required.

Safety, Safeguarding and Inclusion

• Act as a key operational safeguarding contact on site, supporting the Centre Manager and following GMYF safeguarding procedures.
• Record, report, and escalate safeguarding concerns promptly and accurately.
• Promote a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for all young people.

• Work with external agencies and partners to support young people’s needs where appropriate.

Centre Operations and Activities Support

• Work collaboratively with Youth Work Co-ordinators and teams across GMYF centres to support consistency of youth work practice, coordinate provision linked to forecasted activity, residentials, and external events, and contribute to shared learning and best practice.
• Contribute to monitoring, evaluation, and reporting processes, including funding and quality frameworks.
• Support the centre’s self-evaluation and continuous improvement processes.

Professional Conduct and Representation

• Uphold GMYF’s values, policies, and professional standards always.
