  • commit to continuous learning to enhance own practice and keep abreast of innovative practice.
  • use your communication & influencing skills, both written and verbal to lead and inspire others and the ability to engage with young people.
  • keep clear records of work and complete monitoring and evaluations.

In order to be successful in this role, you must have:

  • Experience of facilitating participation activities with young people on a one-to-one basis and in group work settings.
  • Experience of supporting young people who are dealing with complex and sensitive needs and providing pastoral support.
  • Experience of working independently and as part of a team in the field of youth voice and participation.
  • Experience of being a champion of youth voice and participation.
  • Experience of developing inclusive practice.
