Help shape our support for our children, our futures.

What will your day look like?

You will be making a real difference in the lives of children, young people, and families across North East Lincolnshire. Whether you're guiding a young person toward a positive activity, helping them overcome barriers, or making sure their voices are truly heard.

Expect variety: you’ll be engaging young people in local initiatives, the next you’ll be helping them access the right services and support.

• Is a confident communicator and a team player
• Can spot when to signpost, elevate, or dig deeper

Why join us?

You’ll be part of a community that’s determined to see children and families thrive. We champion diversity, resilience, and the power of connection.
