Many of the children face various barriers in life and are more 'at risk' of negative outcomes. You will be instrumental in providing consistency, and equipping children and young people with tools to ensure they feel safe, secure, empowered, and believe that they can succeed in life.

Ideal for a Psychology, Sociology and Criminology graduates, this role will give you excellent practical experience with vulnerable, hard-to-reach students, before embarking on a career in outreach or for non-profit organisations.
