We seek to appoint a part-time (12.5 hours a week) Youth Engagement Co-ordinator to work during term time with the youth community of Bewdley. The successful candidate will work at Bewdley Youth Hub, providing an engaging range of activities. Bewdley Youth Hub is a highly successful and popular facility within the town of Bewdley, attracting large numbers within the community on a regular basis.
The ideal candidate will have youth work experience or relevant youth qualifications for this post. The role will involve managing and organising the Youth Hub to open 3 evenings a week (Tuesday to Thursday), offering a diverse range of activities for the youth community between 5pm and 9pm. This includes engaging with other organisations and volunteers to run activities within the Hub and completing the associated administration.
The post has the option of an additional 5 hours per week (to equal 17.5 hours) to provide lunchtime engagement activities with students for 1 hour per day (such as multi-skills, football, etc.) at The Bewdley School. However, this is negotiable with the successful candidate regarding the number of days per week this is offered.
Given the substantial negative impact of the pandemic on the mental health of young people, there is an urgent need to enhance the youth provision in the town, offering opportunities for social interaction and active participation. The key purpose is the delivery and development of a wide programme of diverse activities and projects for the young people of Bewdley, in partnership with Bewdley Youth Forum.
The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to work closely with our charitable partner, https://www.thewilliammillsfoundation.org/.
We seek a colleague who has:
* Exceptional energy and enthusiasm
* Substantial leadership & organizational capacity
* An understanding of youth development
* The optimism to imagine a better future
