It is an exciting time at the DRC Youth Project! Our charity is growing, and we are looking to strengthen our team by
welcoming a new motivated group worker onto our team of staff.
- Are you motivated and passionate about working together with young people?
- Do you have a ‘can do’
attitude?
- Can you inspire young people to make positive changes in their lives?
- Are you excited
about working for a modern charity with great opportunities for career progression?
- Do you have a UK
Driver’s License?
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.
