You will seek to improve the lives of the young people by working with them to understand what support they need to engage in education or employment, become more independent and gain skills that will last a lifetime.
You will be motivated by your desire to make a positive impact on people and you will passionately share our belief that everyone should have a fair chance to discover who they are who they can become.
On a day to basis, you will
- Lead a team of Youth Support Workers and Senior Youth Support Workers, ensuring they are meeting their KPI’s and giving our young people all the support they require to achieve positive outcomes.

You will also use your own personal drive and personality to build relationships with external partners and stakeholders to leverage services which may be of use to our residents, but also to explore community initiatives our residents can get involved with too.
About You
