Job description

Make a Difference - Inspire Young People - Build Stronger Communities.

Do you want a role where you can make a positive impact on the lives of young people and help shape stronger, more connected communities?

If so, we'd love to hear from you! Join our dedicated team as a Youth Worker within one of Redcar & Cleveland's youth provisions and start making a real difference today.

The Early Help Youth & Community Service is looking for enthusiastic, caring and motivated individuals who are passionate about helping young people thrive. Whether you are an experienced youth worker or looking to take your first steps into the profession, we have exciting opportunities available across our open access and targeted youth programmes.

As part of our team, you will help deliver engaging, creative and inclusive activities that empower young people, build confidence, develop resilience and create opportunities for them to reach their full potential.

Every session provides a chance to inspire, encourage and support young people as they navigate their journey towards adulthood.

No two days in youth work are ever the same. One moment you could be helping a young person discover a new passion, the next you could be offering support through challenges, celebrating achievements, or creating memorable experiences that leave a lasting impact.

What you'll be doing:
  • Building positive and trusted relationships with young people.
  • Delivering fun, engaging and inclusive activities.
  • Encouraging participation, confidence and personal development.
  • Supporting young people with their wellbeing, aspirations and goals.
  • Working as part of a friendly and supportive team committed to making a difference.Youth group sessions are typically 2.5 hours in duration, delivered during term time at locations across Redcar and Cleveland, with additional opportunities for work available during school holidays.

If you're someone with enthusiasm, patience, empathy and a genuine desire to support young people from all backgrounds and experiences, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Whether you're helping a quiet young person find their voice or encouraging a confident young leader to achieve even more, your support can have a lasting impact.

Why join us?

Because youth work is more than a job. It's an opportunity to inspire, empower and positively influence the next generation while developing your own skills and experience along the way.

Take on a rewarding new challenge and join us on the exciting, unpredictable and rewarding journey of youth work, where every day brings the opportunity to change a young person's life for the better.
