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.

Purpose of the Role

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.

The postholder will provide individual and group support to young people, deliver practical media and radio training, manage the organisation’s social media platforms, support and train volunteers, present radio programmes, and contribute to the day-to-day activities of Awaz FM.

The Development Worker will ensure that project outputs, outcomes, and targets are achieved while supporting young people to develop the skills, confidence, and motivation needed to reach positive destinations.

JOB PURPOSE

This role will establish, develop and support delivery of our new schools programme Timesliders across a number of properties in the North East. Timesliders is an ambitious new concept for the Trust and this role will play a key part in reviewing, refreshing and developing the programme, with the aim to roll it out at other Trust properties in the future.

Working with property and national learning teams, programme developers, and teachers/schools, this role will facilitate delivery of outreach activities, create, develop and promote accompanying events and resources, and will engage schools with the project. The postholder will ensure the evaluation and reporting programme for Timesliders is implemented and will establish relationships with local schools and their communities. This post will also work closely with Visitor Services Managers at the properties to implement planning for sustained schools programmes and activities beyond the initial phase of Timesliders.

CONTEXT

At the National Trust for Scotland, we recognise the importance that learning and engagement plays in adding value to the visitor experience at our properties. In 2021, a new Formal Learning Strategy was introduced by the Trust, which aims to roll out new, consistent, high quality schools programmes across Scotland.

One of the key elements of the new programmes will be the national roll out of Timesliders. This innovative story-based programme involves digital resources, outreach resources, on-site workshops and new ways of engaging with schools in line with the Curriculum for Excellence.

Timesliders has initially been trialled at Drum Castle and Estate and this post will be involved in continued support of the programme at Drum, whilst also developing and supporting delivery of the programme at additional properties. The stories we will tell will include topics as varied as Jacobites, habitats, climate change and medieval history. This post will be at the heart of ensuring the programme reaches a range of local schools and families, including consulting with local schools and communities. This post will also lead on the creation, development and delivery of linked family events and resources to encourage return visits.

As this project is a key delivery element of the Formal Learning Strategy, this post will also work closely with the national Learning team on evaluation, reporting and development, with a dotted line to the Head of Learning. The post holder will also become a member of the Formal Learning Network, a community of practice across the Trust for staff working with schools.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABILITIES

In this role the post holder will:

• Establish and support properties to deliver Timesliders, liaising with the Site Operational teams, Operations Managers, national Learning team, and other internal/external stakeholders
• Form, build, and maintain relationships with local schools
• Liaise with the Timesliders’ development team of creators, contractors, and suppliers to develop and deliver the programme’s products
• Coordinate logistical arrangements for the outreach activities
• Support properties to deliver and coordinate schools sessions on-site
• Maintain detailed records of participating schools and visits and input into reports by the national learning team
• Contribute to and coordinate evaluation of the programme, working with an external evaluation specialist and the national learning team

• Create, develop and deliver new family events and resources to encourage return visits
• Ensure all work is carried out in line with our Conservation principles and Safe Systems of Work (H&S)
• Carry-out any essential administrative tasks as required; e.g. raising purchase orders, contributing to monthly reports, arranging project meetings, etc.
