Team EPIC is Doncaster’s innovative Youth Crime Prevention Service. We work with young people who may be at risk of offending, exploitation, anti-social behaviour, disengagement from education, or other challenges that impact their future opportunities. We help young people make positive choices and achieve better outcomes through positive relationships, early intervention and targeted support. We are looking for a motivated, compassionate and resilient Youth Support Worker to join our team.

You will have a varied role where no two days are the same and your work can have a lasting impact on young people’s lives.

A typical week could include delivering prevention sessions in schools, supporting a young person on a one-to-one basis, facilitating positive activities within local communities, working with families and partner agencies, attending multi-agency meetings, helping to develop new opportunities that support young people to thrive and being part of our flagship Youth Hub within Doncaster City Centre.

• Building positive, trusting relationships with young people.
• Delivering early intervention and prevention programmes in schools, communities and youth settings.
• Supporting young people through one-to-one interventions and group work activities.
• Contributing to initiatives that reduce youth crime, anti-social behaviour and exploitation.
• Encouraging young people to develop life skills, confidence, resilience and positive aspirations.
• Working collaboratively with schools, community organisations and partner agencies.
• Recording interventions, producing reports and maintaining accurate case records.
• Supporting the development and delivery of innovative activities that engage young people and improve outcomes.

We value a range of experiences, backgrounds and perspectives. We welcome applications from candidates who can demonstrate the skills, knowledge and behaviours needed to engage and support young people, including transferable experience gained through youth work, education, social care, community development, sports coaching, mentoring, voluntary work or other relevant settings. You will be able to demonstrate:

• Strong relationship-building and communication skills.
• The ability to engage, motivate and inspire young people.
• A commitment to improving outcomes for children and young people.
• An understanding of the challenges facing vulnerable young people and communities.
• The ability to work independently whilst contributing positively to a team environment.
• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.
• Creativity, enthusiasm and a willingness to develop new ideas and approaches.

Team EPIC is a supportive, innovative and forward-thinking service committed to helping young people achieve their potential. We are passionate about early intervention and believe in creating opportunities for young people to succeed. You will have the opportunity to contribute to innovative practice, develop your skills, access ongoing training and development, and work alongside experienced professionals who are committed to making a difference.

We encourage new ideas and value staff who are passionate about improving services and outcomes for young people.
