* 30 hrs per week. Mon, Tues & Wed 1400-2200, Fri 0930 – 1530. Occasional opportunities to attend residential activities including outward bound experiences.
Role
On this occasion we are specifically seeking a male worker. Around 50% of young people attending our club identify as male. When we take young people on residential experiences or outward-bound activities there is often a need to offer gender-based support in dressing, changing or dealing with nighttime issues.
At present, we only have one male youth worker; we have three female youth workers. We feel it is important to build resilience in this regard to ensure we are able to offer a full service to boys seeking to take part in our activities.
Consequently, this post holder may be required to offer personal and intimate care affecting privacy and decency in circumstances where there may be a reasonable objection to being attended by someone of the opposite sex. As such, this advert should be regarded as being exempt from the Equalities Act.
