Local Government Jobs

Our youth service is setting the professional pace with a constant stream of imaginative ideas and fresh initiatives. We now need people with a genuine interest in supporting young people to join us on a part-time basis.

This post will require you to work with either young people and will involve evening and weekend work. You will use your excellent interpersonal skills to engage young people in constructive activities. Most of these activities will be carried out on the streets, in parks, community buildings or other areas where young people meet. You will need to demonstrate flexibility, patience and commitment. Your ability to understand and communicate effectively with young people in the 13-19 age groups will be essential.

You will be helping young people to evaluate their standing in the community, and be an intermediate on their behalf when needed.
