The role involves providing positive engagement with young people aged between 8-16 years who are either vulnerable, socially excluded or involved in crime.

The role will also include assisting the team with the organisation of events, working with local communities, working with external partners in relation to funding opportunities and providing one to one sessions with young people to provide support, guidance and intervention where applicable.
