EXPERIENCE /QUALIFICATIONS: prospective candidates must have, or be working towards, basic accreditation to deliver a physical activity programme – although training may be provided to suitable candidate, external agencies will be used for advanced activities.

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.
