Are you ready for an adventure-filled role that makes a real difference? As a Youth Development Lead, you can expect to spend four days a week outdoors, delivering life-changing programmes to vulnerable young people, rain or shine. With activities like bushcraft, paddling, climbing, and hill walking, you’ll use your skills to inspire confidence and build resilience. Your hands-on approach will help break down barriers and empower young people to reach their potential.
Ideal candidates will have experience working with vulnerable individuals and delivering outdoor learning programmes. While your week will be spent mostly delivering sessions outdoors, expect one day a week at a desk planning sessions and recording data. If you thrive in dynamic environments and are passionate about supporting young people through meaningful, adventurous experiences, we want to hear from you!

Why do we need Youth Development Leads?
Last year, we helped more than 40,000 Young People, with three in four young people on our programmes moving into a positive outcome in work, education or training. The young people we help face a range of challenges, such as unemployment, mental health issues or some who have been in trouble with the law. We believe all young people should have the chance to succeed, and that young people are the key to a positive and prosperous future for all of us. We want to continue having a positive impact on young people’s lives and we couldn’t do this without the important work of Youth Development Leads!
