What we are looking for in you

YMCA Dulverton Group is actively seeking a passionate individual to join the Youth & Community Programmes Team in Weston‑Super‑Mare as a Youth Worker.

As a Youth Worker, you will work as part of a team to provide safe, welcoming, and supportive open access and planned delivery for children and young people aged 10 – 18. You will help to inspire young people and support their positive progression, whilst building their resilience.

You will be required to interact and communicate openly with young people, establishing appropriate relationships to safeguard and ensure good standard of support, provision, and behaviour.

Additionally, you will support the youth team to provide weekly activities at our sessions that both encourage and empower young people to learn new life skills and support them to become an active member of their community. You will collect clear, accurate and relevant data from all our work to inform evaluation and planning and capture the value and impact of the work we do.

If you’re ready to make a real impact and facilitate transformative change, we look forward to receiving your application.
