Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of young people? Do you enjoy working within communities and building positive relationships? If so, we'd love to hear from you.
Gwynedd Youth Service is looking to recruit two enthusiastic and committed Street-Based Youth Workers to join our team.
You will work directly with young people in the places where they naturally gather across Gwynedd. The role focuses on building trusted relationships, engaging with young people who may not access traditional services, and ensuring they have opportunities to access support, activities, and services that make a positive difference in their lives.

- Engaging with young people in their local communities and the places where they choose to meet.
- Building positive, trusting relationships with young people.
- Planning and delivering projects, activities, and initiatives that respond to the needs, interests, and aspirations of young people.
- Leading the development of a dedicated street-based youth work service across Gwynedd.
- Working in partnership with schools, statutory services, North Wales Police, and community organisations to provide coordinated support for young people.
- Ensuring that young people's voices are at the heart of the service by involving them in the design, development, and evaluation of activities and opportunities.
We're looking for someone who:
- Is passionate about supporting and empowering young people.
- Has excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
- Can work flexibly, including evenings and occasional weekends.
- Is able to work independently as well as part of a team.
- Shares the values and principles of youth work and is committed to ensuring every young person has the opportunity to thrive.
The ability to communicate through the medium of Welsh is essential for these roles.
If you want to be part of a forward-thinking service that makes a real difference to the lives of young people across Gwynedd, we'd love to hear from you.
Join us and help young people across Gwynedd realise their potential.
