Following a successful funding award from the Office of the Police Crime Commissioner (OPCC) Humber, we wish to employ a part-time  Youth Support  Worker for 18.5 hours per week on a one year fixed contract (we hope to extend this but will depend on the successful delivery of project and additional funding) working with young people aged 14+ who will be both vulnerable and potentially challenging.

Working with each young person for a period of 8 weeks you will support each boxing coaching sessions and then afterwards at a life skills/cooking session in which you will all eat together. Your role will be to establish meaningful and trusted relationships with each young person referred onto the project, providing them with additional one to one support outside the timetabled sessions.  Additionally you will liaise and link with partner agencies already working with the young person including: Police, Safer Communities Team, Children & Young People’s services, Youth Offending Team & Delta Academy.

The project will commence early December 2022 subject to the successful candidate being appointed. Salary is £13,949 pro rata (£14.50 per hour).
