Youth & Communities Worker

The role

Love working with young people? Help them grow in confidence, make friends and discover what they can become.

We’re looking for Youth & Communities Workers to help run our youth programmes across Worcestershire. You’ll co-plan and deliver activities for young people aged mainly 8–15, in youth clubs, schools, community venues, online and out in the community (detached work). Sessions include workshops, games, arts, sport and outdoor projects, all designed to build young people’s confidence, life skills and sense of belonging.

About you

You enjoy working with young people and can build relationships based on trust and respect. You’re patient, resilient and flexible, and happy to try new things. You’ll need experience of working face to face with young people, and a Level 2 in Youth Work or a willingness to work towards one. You should also be able to work some evenings, weekends and residentials.

A driving licence, safeguarding training or a talent for sport or the arts would be a bonus.
