Provide hands-on guidance and mentorship to young participants, fostering skill development and confidence.
Adapt activities to suit the abilities and interests of the group, while maintaining compliance.

4. Feedback and Monitoring

Log all youth group activities, including attendance, progress, and incidents, in a centralised system.
Support reporting on outcomes and contributing to funding monitoring.

5. Collaboration and Communication

Knowledge of safeguarding, risk assessment, and compliance in youth-focused settings.
Strong organisational and communication skills, with the ability to liaise across departments.

Desirable
