Experience / Qualifications

Granton Youth took its services outside during the pandemic, and its success with young people in improving their skills, mental health, and wellbeing means it is now an integral part of the GY programme. GY is recruiting a youth worker with experience of delivering a physical activities programme for young people aged 11+. The successful candidate will develop and implement a physical activity programme to work with young people to coordinate and design a programme of outdoor/indoor activities, in conjunction with young people and networking with activity providers. The post holder will provide 1:1 mentoring for any young person identified as requiring additional support.
The post holder will work with team members to deliver appropriate programmes to support and motivate young people to participate in the provision - including planning, development, decision-making processes, and evaluation.
If you have the skills and experience we are looking for, and want to play an important role in enabling people to achieve lasting change in their lives, we want to hear from you.
In return, we offer a range of generous benefits including a generous annual leave entitlement, flexible and hybrid working, an employee benefits package, and a joint contributory pension scheme.
