Working under the direction of our Team leader, Sessional Workers are key to ensuring the successful delivery of our programmes. The role will include the development and delivery of specific community/youth work projects and programmes delivered in accordance with the policies and procedures of the organisation, helping participants to develop personally, socially, and educationally. The role will include providing support to vulnerable and at-risk service users. Also responding to their needs, encouraging, and enabling achievement, self-expression, positivity, confidence, and the development of self-esteem based on equality and respect for each other.

The 'Young Start Progressions' programme at 'The Pavilion' will be a dynamic 2-year programme, led by young people, supported by staff and volunteers and by existing and new partnership opportunities. Our three-pronged approach aims to empower young individuals across various stages of their development:

• Primary/Secondary Transitions Programme: We will provide support for P7, S1, and S2 young people as they transition from primary to secondary school, fostering empowerment, confidence, and improved self-esteem in a non-school environment.
• Volunteer Mentoring Programme: Expanding on our successful volunteering mentoring initiative, we offer diverse opportunities for young volunteers, connecting them with roles both within Pavilion and through our network of school partnerships and community collaborations.
• Attainment Programme: Focused on enhancing pathways for Junior and Senior Club participants, we integrate life skills development seamlessly into existing activities. From goal-setting exercises, certificated activity programmes to accredited learning and further training opportunities.

We are seeking a Programme Coordinator to lead the delivery of this project as well as managing the Attainment Worker & Volunteer Development Worker posts attached to this project.

Being creative, innovative and ideas driven, to support delivery of multiple programmes of activity and be able to forge strong positive relationships with partners are key attributes for this post. The postholder will be responsible for taking a

coordinated approach to implementing activities with young people that address the key identified issues affecting them, ensuring their needs are addressed and pathways created that help them to succeed.

The postholder should have experience working with a range of age groups and are able to demonstrate experience in taking a youth-led approach to service delivery.
