Facts and Figures:

Young Somerset (YS) was established in 1997 (as Somerset Rural Youth Project) with a mission to
work with young people, encouraging them to take responsibility, supporting them to overcome
disadvantage, and to become actively involved in shaping the communities in which they live.

Our vision is a Somerset where young people feel a sense of belonging, a desire to contribute to
their communities and have a future that is not limited by poor access to opportunities and services.
This is delivered through three strands of work: Targeted Youth Work, Alternative Education
Provision and Enterprise; and Mental Health Support.

During the past year, Young Somerset’s LICBT services (Community Wellbeing and Educational
Mental Health Support) received more than 1800 requests for support, predominantly from young
people aged 11-17. Our Jigsaw Project, which supports young people who have had a recent
hospital admission for their mental health difficulties or low emotional wellbeing, delivers in the
region of 600 contacts a year and is aimed at reducing readmission to hospital using a youth-work
strengths-focused approach. Our Targeted Youth Service provides targeted youth work activities
and interventions to approximately 500 young people a year, a percentage of which are referrals
from Special Schools, Pupil Referral Units, the Police or social services.

Young Somerset deals with in excess of 200 safeguarding concerns a year, which is growing as the
organisation expands and diversifies.

Young Somerset employs 100+ members of staff and several volunteers; over half of which work in
direct support of high need young people and/or those with mild to moderate mental health needs.

The postholder will be expected to operate largely under own initiative, but supported by colleagues
in the Business and Innovation Service, who provide central support services to the wider
organisation and are based at both Bold and Brave and the café on a rota basis. It is expected that
the Café will be used by a wide range of partner organisation and other staff in Young Somerset to
run activities for young people.

The postholder will be based at either the Bold and Brave shop in Bridgwater or Taunton. They may
also be required to travel to other Young Somerset premises to attend meetings or training. They
may also be required to provide support at other Young Somerset enterprise venues, and to support
other organisational events as appropriate.

Additional Information

The postholder must be able to demonstrate commitment and enthusiasm towards Young
Somerset’s four core values: Putting Young People First, Inspiring, Collaborating, Going Further.

An Enhanced DBS clearance is required as post holder will be working in close proximity to children.
This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Acts.

The postholder will be asked to work between the shops operating hours of Tuesday to Saturday
10am to 4:30pm.
