About the Organisation

Afasic North Surrey is a charitable organisation dedicated to supporting children and young people with speech, language, and communication needs (SLCN) and special educational needs (SEN). Our mission is to empower families and individuals through information, advocacy, and support.

About the Role

We are seeking a dynamic, innovative, and compassionate Children's and Youth Co-ordinator to plan and lead our Friday Clubs (alongside our paid and voluntary Children and Youth Workers/Leaders) for children and young people with SLCN/SEN, including those with complex needs.

This role is crucial in creating a supportive and engaging environment where children and young people can develop their social skills, build confidence, and have fun.
