Purpose of the role
This is a senior leadership post in our organisation and wish passionate and skilled youth work leaders to apply for this exciting opportunity.

The Youth Work Manager will also engage with the Activity Team and the SPYF Molendinar Community Centre Teams to ensure that the young people have a full and varied programme of activity with SPYF.
Vital to the culture of the Youth Work Team and the practice are that the SPYF service is Youth-led and that young people's voices are central to the provision offered to them. SPYF also wants to ensure that the youth work team is:
Inclusive, equal and diverse.
Working closely with staff, Trustees, local authorities, funders and external commercial organisations, the Youth Work Manager will work to ensure that the SPYF youth work team will be vibrant, welcoming, well-managed that operates for the benefit of, not only local residents, but young people throughout Provanmill, Blackhill and the surrounding localities.
