This is an exciting and unique opportunity to join the delivery team and play your part in shaping opportunities for London’s young people and supporting full time Youth Workers and Youth Work Managers.

The Future, like all OnSide Youth Zones, exists to give young people, particularly those who are disadvantaged, somewhere to go, something to do and someone to talk to. Each Youth Zone is open 7 days a week, at weekends and during school holidays, with the purpose of supporting young people to become happy, healthy and successful adults.

Future’s state-of-the-art £6.5 million building on Parsloes Park provides young people with access to a range of activities, offering them the opportunity to try new things, meet new friends and gain support from friendly, warm and positive staff and volunteers. The facilities include a 3G pitch, a gym, sports hall, recreation area and dance, arts, music and media suites, with facilities equipped for a wide range of sporting, artistic, cultural and general recreational activities and targeted services. To access a Youth Zone, young people aged 8 - 19 (or 25 with additional needs) simply pay 50p per visit and £5 per year membership.

The Youth Zone supports young people like Monique, Owen and Bolato grow and develop. Check out the linked video
