[ref. m06427117] Sessional Youth Worker - Bedford

Sessional Youth Worker

Join a team that is changing places and changing lives.

Groundwork is the community charity with a green heart. We believe that big global issues – the economy, the environment – have a big local impact. Groundwork operates throughout the UK helping communities find practical solutions to the challenges they face.

Location: based in Bedfordshire

We are looking to recruit a number of dedicated individuals to work on our youth and community projects supporting young people in Bedfordshire to improve their confidence, skills and aspirations. Successful candidates will assist the Lead Project Officers in the delivery of sessions, either working in youth centres or out on detached work in Central Bedfordshire and Bedford.

Work will be based around both evening and holiday session delivery with the opportunity to help create fun and safe environments for young people in which to socialise, engage with others and develop new skills.

You’ll have a desire to work with young people and make a difference, and be reliable and willing to learn. You may already have experience working with young people or in the community and be looking to develop this further, or you may be seeking your first step into a career in this area.

If you are looking for an inclusive, family friendly organisation which offers flexibility, a supportive culture, an employee assistance programme together with the opportunity to develop your skills and progress your career we would like to hear from you.

Groundwork East is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all members of the community.

Appointment to this role is subject to an enhanced record check through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
