Development Worker – Springboard Media Training & Youth Engagement Project

About the Project

The Springboard Media Training and Youth Engagement Project supports Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) young people aged 16–25, including refugees, asylum seekers, young offenders, ex-offenders, and those at risk of offending, who are experiencing homelessness, insecure housing, social exclusion, or multiple barriers to participation.

The project aims to provide a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment where young people can develop confidence, resilience, life skills, employability skills, and aspirations, enabling them to progress towards positive destinations such as stable accommodation, further education, training, volunteering, or employment.

Through a combination of group activities, media training, podcasting, radio broadcasting, mentoring, and one-to-one support, participants will be empowered to overcome barriers, improve their wellbeing, and become active and valued members of their communities.

The Development Worker will be responsible for developing and delivering a high-quality youth engagement programme that combines media training, personal development, employability support, mentoring, and volunteering opportunities.
