Making a difference to young people’s lives every day.
We are recruiting a Youth Development Officer to help us to deliver a personal development programme that changes young people’s lives.
Groundwork has been delivering The Prince’s Trust Team Programme for the last 24 years. Many of the young people we help via this 12-16 week programme are in, or leaving, care. They may be facing issues such as homelessness, suffering with their mental health, or have been in trouble with the police. At Groundwork we believe that every young person should have the chance to embrace exciting opportunities.
Our programmes give young people the practical and financial support they need to stabilise their lives. We help them develop key skills while boosting their confidence and motivation to enable them to reach their full potential. Our hope is for these young people to progress into further training, education or employment.
Your role will involve working with partner agencies to recruit and introduce social awareness sessions, Your aim will be to achieve the desired outcomes and raise the life chances and attainment of young people attending this programme.
If you are passionate about changing people’s lives and you think you have the skills, knowledge and experience we are looking for – we’d like to hear from you.
