Are you passionate about supporting young people to reach their potential?

We are looking for two enthusiastic ME8 Youth and Play Leads to join our Youth Service team, based at either Phipps Bridge Youth Centre or Pollards Hill Youth Centre.

You will lead and develop engaging junior and senior youth sessions, build positive relationships with children and young people, and help create safe, inclusive environments where they can learn, grow, and thrive. You will also support outreach activities, projects, and holiday programmes while maintaining high standards of safeguarding and health and safety.

We are looking for people with experience of working with children and/or young people, strong communication skills, and a commitment to delivering high-quality youth and play work.
