Vacancy Details
Help young people build confidence, overcome challenges, and create positive futures.
We are looking for a passionate and committed Youth Development Coach to join a new service supporting young people aged 14–25. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a service in its early stages, helping shape how it develops while making a real difference to young people’s lives.
You will work alongside young people facing challenges that may affect their wellbeing, future opportunities, housing stability, or safety, including family conflict, disengagement from education, social isolation, poor mental wellbeing, homelessness risk, and involvement in antisocial behavior.
As a Youth Development Coach, you will:
- Build trusted relationships with young people, helping them identify their strengths, overcome barriers, and achieve goals that matter to them.
- Encourage young people to build confidence, develop life skills, and make positive choices through one-to-one support, group activities, and practical interventions.
- Use a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach.
- Work collaboratively with families, schools, community organizations, and partner agencies to provide early intervention and coordinated support.
