St Austell, United Kingdom Active8 Full time

**A bit about Active8**

Active8 was created in 1990 on the request of a young man with a physical disability. He asked his social worker to arrange for him to meet with other like minded young people who faced similar challenges to him.

A residential programme was started, giving young people with physical disabilities an opportunity to meet up and try a range of exciting, challenging activities. Activities include surfing, sailing, abseiling, disability sports, arts and crafts and music events. Through this programme, young people discover that they can achieve what they never thought possible, and this filters into their everyday lives, where they become more independent and autonomous.

It became evident that once the programme finished, many young people still needed support to continue their journey to full autonomy. Employment, independent living, use of public transport, continued access to friendship and new opportunities were still areas that young people needed support with.

In more recent years we have created a bespoke AQA Accredited mentoring program to develop our older members skills to mentor our younger members. After the success of this we have secured new funding to continue this work and also be able to offer our members more individual support be it around mental health and wellbeing, raising aspirations or just being someone there to talk to.

**What it is like to work for Active8**

We are a charity that supports the wellbeing and aspirations of young people and consequently the wellbeing of our staff is first and foremost. We welcome flexible working and trust our staff to manage their own time.

No matter what your role is within Active8 we encourage staff to get involved with the youth work delivery and join the activities to see what the hard work behind the scenes is for.

Full time employees are entitled to 28 days annual leave and TOIL for any additional work they do.

**The role**

This is an exciting chance to really make a substantial difference to the young people we support at Active8.

However willingness to learn, passion for the cause and transferable skills count for a lot and training will be provided if you do not have direct experience but you are creative, good at organising, enjoy building relationships and have an eye for detail.

An average week might involve a residential or day activity with our group. It might be meeting members on a 121 to support them with their individual needs or planning the next exciting event for our mentors and mentees.

As you would expect when working for a small charity no two days are the same and we all ‘muck in’ doing things outside of any job description - which will make working at Active8 so varied and enjoyable.

**Job description**

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated counsellor, mentor, teacher or youth worker who has excellent planning skills, is great at communicating with different groups of people and has the ability to support our members.

**Key responsibilities**
- Mentoring program development and delivery in collaboration with the project participants including 1:1 work, group activities, advocacy and residentials.
