Role
About The DRC Youth Project (SCIO)
The DRC Youth Project is a modern, innovative and ambitious youth charity based in North-West Glasgow. We create opportunities that help young people develop confidence, resilience, practical skills and aspirations through high-quality youth work, personal development, employability and training programmes.
Working alongside schools, funders, local authorities, employers and community organisations, we deliver a diverse range of programmes and initiatives including school support, employability and training, accredited learning, youth clubs, outdoor learning, volunteering opportunities, our Community Pantry and community-based projects.
We're a proactive organisation that isn't afraid to roll up our sleeves. When challenges arise, we work together to find practical solutions. We learn from experience, adapt and keep moving forward. That approach has helped shape the organisation we are today and continues to create new opportunities for the young people we support. As we continue to grow, we're developing an exciting new training centre that will further expand the opportunities available to young people across Glasgow.
We're now looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Group Worker to join our team. If you're passionate about working with young people, enjoy variety and want to play a key role in helping young people achieve positive outcomes while contributing to the future of a growing organisation, we'd love to hear from you.
About the Role
As a Group Worker, you'll play a key role in delivering group work programmes that engage young people and help develop confidence, resilience, practical skills and positive aspirations. Working across a range of DRC programmes and partnership initiatives, you'll support young people to overcome barriers, recognise their strengths and take positive steps towards education, training and employment.
This is a varied and rewarding role where you'll combine youth work, employability and training, accredited learning and practical activities to create engaging experiences for young people. You'll work alongside an experienced team of specialist workers, supporting everything from outdoor learning and community projects to educational visits, workshops and new initiatives, while bringing your own ideas, interests and skills to the team.
As part of the wider project, you'll also contribute to our community youth work programme by supporting two evening youth club sessions each week. Together, these programmes give you the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with young people, support their progress and make a lasting difference in their lives.
Who We’re Looking For
We're looking for someone who is enthusiastic, motivated and committed to making a positive difference in the lives of young people. You'll enjoy building positive relationships, working as part of a team and supporting young people to overcome barriers and achieve their full potential.
You'll thrive in a varied and fast-paced environment where no two weeks are the same. You'll be proactive, adaptable and willing to get involved, whether that's delivering a group session, supporting an outdoor activity, contributing to a new project or working alongside colleagues to achieve the best outcomes for young people. You'll take ownership of your work, contribute ideas and embrace opportunities to help young people and the organisation continue to grow.
As travel forms part of the role, applicants must hold a full UK driving licence. If you're someone who enjoys working collaboratively, brings energy and initiative to your role, has life experience to share and wants to be part of a team that is committed to making a lasting difference, we'd love to hear from you.
Why Join the DRC?
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing organisation where you'll have the chance to make a genuine difference in the lives of young people every day. As the DRC continues to grow, you'll have the opportunity to help shape new programmes, strengthen existing services and contribute to the future of an organisation that is committed to creating better opportunities for young people across Glasgow.
