The DRC Youth Project is a modern youth service which offers safe spaces and supports young people. The new youth worker will work together with groups of young people (ages 8-26) across DRC youth clubs and initiatives. The DRC deliver drop-in and structured sessions, where young people can access a range of activities and support, including issue based-workshops, health & well-being focussed activities and trips, weekly football and cycling sessions, gardening and food growing, and digital learning activities. We work closely with young people and partners to develop activities and services on offer, and to ensure that young people have a safe space in their community to contribute, grow and learn. Young people are at the heart of everything we do, and our aim is that every young person we work with is empowered to live their life to its fullest potential.

• The post will involve regular evening working.
• Driver's licence preferred but not essential.

The DRC Youth Project is a modern youth service which offers safe spaces and supports young people. The new group worker will work together with groups of young people across DRC personal development initiatives. The aim of each group is to provide support, advice and guidance on employment, training and career and personal development for the young people. In doing this, the new group worker will liaise with relevant bodies as directed with a key focus on prevention, employability and in some cases, recovery. At the DRC, young people are at the heart of everything we do, and our aim is that every young person we work with is empowered to live their life to its fullest potential.

The group worker’s core function is to offer a variety of information and support that will help fulfil the personal development requirements of each young person. The group worker will equip the young people to meet life challenges and in particular allow them to access employment and a career path within their own aspirations and capabilities. To achieve this, the post holder will continually engage with young people utilising various DRC Youth Project resources and key specialist partners. The post holder will also support the DRC management team in the day to day running of the project’s various youth provisions.
