About the role

CXK is a leading charity that empowers young people and adults to build the skills and confidence they need to move into sustainable education, employment or training.  Each year we make a difference to more than 300,000 people across the South of England.

The Youth Support Adviser (YSA) role has a central responsibility within the Youth Employability Service (YES) and is often the first point of contact into the service for young people aged 16-18 who are NEET (not in education or employment or training) or at risk of NEET.  The role requires the understanding, skills, and knowledge to support young people who find engaging in education, employment or training difficult.  

The post also requires the ability to successfully engage with young people through various methods, whether this be via phone, face to face or using text and WhatsApp. We call this ‘tracking’ and the YSA sits within a ‘tracking team’ to complete this vital work.

The YSA will be the first point of contact for young people accessing YES hubs and drop-in services and as such requires good level of customer service and communication skills. Supporting the Eastbourne team, the YSA must be willing to travel cross county if required.  

The role sits within the Youth Employability Service which has commissioned by East Sussex County Council (ESCC) since 2013.

Main Responsibilities:

  • To support, advocate and encourage young people to enable them to make a positive and sustainable transition into EET.   
  • Contribute to a process of culture and practice change to create vibrant YES hubs which are accessible to young people, partners, and other stakeholders.  
  • Provide 1:1 sessions for young people who require support and preparation into the world of work or learning. 
  • To book appointments with young people for the wider YES team.
  • Support drop-in services in other venues, such as colleges or community hubs.
  • To complete initial MAPP assessments for young people who access YES.
