Youth Focus North East Vacancies
Youth Focus North East has vacancies for experienced Sessional Youth Workers, to add to our team working in Middlesbrough. The work will involve detached, outreach and centre based work.
About the Role
We are looking for sessional youth workers who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of young people. Confident in the delivery of youth work, you will be committed to improving young people’s lives, and working with them to address their concerns and needs.
Our programme of work provides new and fun experiences through open access, detached and outreach for young people to explore opportunities, raise their aspirations, be positively challenged and be supported to be the decision makers of their own pathway.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
