Thinking about becoming a youth worker? Youth Work offers a variety of opportunities to people wishing to work with young people. 

Whether you are interested in volunteering, doing part-time work for one or two evenings a week or a full time post, we will be happy to talk to you about it.

Do I need experience or a qualification?  - Some of the work does call for experienced/qualified workers but we also have openings for people new to the service.

Comprehensive training is available whatever level you are at.

What sort of people are you looking for? – People come to youth work from all walks of life and each person brings their own individual skills.  there is no “one type” of person, just people who:

• like young people and enjoy being with them
• can listen to young people and take an interest in them
• can accept young people for who they are without prejudice
• are willing to learn and develop their understanding of young people
• value young people and want them to achieve
