This person will lead on our exciting new Saturday Seniors Programme, Outreach and Recruitment of Young People, and Community Partnerships and Engagement.

The service currently operates 6 days a week, with much scope to develop new programmes.We offer a range of activities from Judo, Homework Club, Lyric Writing and much more, tailored to the needs and ambitions of our young members. In addition, we run programmes during school holidays through the day and into the evenings. The Avenues Youth Project offers a vital resource for the local community, providing free opportunities in a safe, attractive environment for young people to develop educationally, socially and personally through an exciting and wide range of sport, creative arts and practical skills. 

If you are passionate about working with young people, please send us your CV and a cover letter explaining why the role interests you and how you meet the person specification.

The closing date for applications is Tuesday 8th June 2021, 12pm (midday). However, we are looking for successful candidates to start as soon as possible, therefore applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis and interviews scheduled accordingly. Therefore, we may close the recruitment early if the post is filled so, please apply as soon as possible.

We're looking for an exceptional and experienced youth worker to join our small team, delivering immersive and horizon-broadening residential projects, and follow-on youth work support, for particularly vulnerable children. You'll run weekend youth group sessions, lead days out and overnight trips, as well as working 1:1 with young people in this interesting but challenging dual role. 

You'll work right alongside the charity's founders, playing an integral role in developing this young and vibrant charity and gaining significant insight into varied aspects of charity management and innovative youth work. Your main work will be helping lead and deliver our award winning Thrive Outside programme, which takes particularly disadvantaged young people, (primarily aged 8-13) on week long outdoor based breaks, helping them to feel brave, included,talented and successful, and then offers a range of tailored ongoing youth work support to those most in need, throughout the following years.

Our offer to the right candidate:

Salary: £27,000 - £31,000 dependent on experience. 

Hours: Fulltime: 37 hours per week spread over 5 days, one of which must be a Saturday or Sunday during term-times. Attendance on 7 residential projects a year.

Leave: 46 days per year, inclusive of bank holidays and pre-set reward days. (Yes, we know how generous this is - but we ask a lot in return. See recruitment pack.)

Other benefits: 3% employer pension contribution paid on full base salary; flexible working (outside core hours); Employee benefit scheme including employee health plan and reward scheme offering reduced cinema tickets, meals out and entry to days out/attractions.

Based: Our offices near Waterloo, Lambeth, but with youth work sessions across south London

To start: Must be able to start by week commencing 19th July 2021, at the latest. Fixed term contract until July 2023 with potential for extension.

You will need to have held a UK driving licence for a minimum of 2 years and be willing, with training, to drive a minibus as an essential part of the role.

What we’re looking for:

You should have good experience of working with young people (aged 8-17) as a youth worker, or in a similar role involving substantial direct work with young people. All children referred to Free to Be come from complex backgrounds and as a result children can at times display complex behaviour - we’re looking for someone who is passionate about the rights of these children, loves working with them, and is able to throw their heart and soul into making a real difference on their behalf. You’ll need experience of responding to complex behaviour in prior roles, as well as energy, vibrancy and resilience to forge deep and trusting relationships with marginalised children and families who have often had negative experiences of schools, social care or other more formal settings.

Attendance on our residential projects, totalling approximately 45 days and nights each year, is an important requirement of the role - you’ll need the flexibility to make this fit, and the confidence to take on leadership roles on these projects. Our projects use natural settings, work with animals and adventurous activities to capture young people's imaginations, so a love of nature and the outdoors, an ease with camping, and a willingness to 'rough it' a little are also important. (Although you don’t need to be Bear Grylls – our projects are about introducing young people to the outdoors and helping them experience freedom and space, rather than a huge focus on ‘outward bound’ adrenaline style activities.). 

This role would suit you if you’re motivated, proactive, and know that working with vulnerable young people is ‘your thing’. We want someone with drive and personality, who has fantastic rapport with young people, and are keen to encourage applications from youth workers who can help us represent the lived experiences of our children through their own lived experience or background. We’re focussed on investing in and developing the right candidate and we care much more about character and potential than word perfect CVs. If you have the drive and passion needed for this role, download our recruitment pack or visit our website to apply.

We’re excited to be recruiting across West Yorkshire for people who are passionate about working with and helping young people improve their lives. 
 
It's a unique time at the moment but our commitment to our young people is as strong as it’s ever been. We want to keep providing support to young people face to face, however, we’ve developed new ways of working to enable all young people access to our services including a blended approach to virtual and face to face programme delivery.

This role involves working on our Health and Social Care programmes, could you support young people to reach our aim of getting 10,000 young people into Health and Social Care careers?
 
As a Prince’s Trust Executive, you’ll engage and build quality relationships with young people, volunteers and partners, and as an effective communicator and collaborator, you will thrive in both team and independent work. If you believe you have the passion and skills to help young people change their lives then we would love to hear from you! 

Our Prince’s Trust Executives work with young people from every background, so we’re passionate about building a diverse workforce that represents the young people we support. We therefore welcome applications from everyone who meets the essential criteria for the role, if you’re not sure if you do, please feel free to apply as you’ll have the chance to fill in a supporting statement and let us know what you would bring to the table and if you have lived experience that will help our young people. 
 
To be successful in this role, you will need to be able to engage in challenges with optimism and resilience and be adaptive and flexible – embracing change and innovation. As well as being confident delivering with groups face to face you must also be comfortable working virtually and delivering programmes on virtual platforms.

Our Execs provide 1:1 and group support for young people so you will need to have experience in facilitating skills development in at least one of the following: 

•    Social and personal development 
•    Employability/self-employment training  
•    Volunteer training/management 
•    Partnerships management 
•    Health and Social Care

The work of the Children, Young People and Families team is diverse, and current services include an Adventure Playground, coaching in local schools, homework clubs, youth work provision, out of school and holiday services and a family support programme. You will be part of a small and dynamic team, delivering a range of innovative early intervention and targeted services from our Adventure Playground and in local schools.

You will be confident that your professional approach and your solid grounding in youth/play and community work will allow you to work within High Trees’ collaborative approach to service delivery with other partners, stakeholders and local groups in order to provide the services needed in the local community. You will be skilled at service delivery, whilst also possessing the administrative and organisational skills to ensure all work is clearly tracked, monitored and evaluated as per our standardised online software and individual funders requirements. You will understand the wide-ranging challenges facing young people and will be flexible in adjusting your practice to meet these needs.
