- Lead a team of Youth Workers and volunteers on these projects, manage rotas and provide supervision.
- Provide mentoring, coaching and support to individual young people, encouraging them to develop their self-awareness, independence and individuality.
- Develop and maintain strong community relationships with external stakeholders, eg schools and colleges, and develop relationships within youth sector networks in Dorset.
- Stay informed on legislation, local and national issues, and best practice in youth work.
- Lead on all mental health work carried out by DYCC (Young Peoples’ Mental Health First Aid training will be provided); deliver mental health sessions with young people in groups and on a one-to-one basis.
- Identify where Targeted Youth Support is needed, facilitate referrals to appropriate agencies, and ensure safeguarding policy is followed.
- Ensure that all projects are properly documented, delivered within budget, all safeguarding and Health and Safety requirements are met, and that work is evaluated and reported in accordance with contractual and funding commitments; help set up and maintain record systems.
- Work with the team to enable DYCC to become a sustainable and robust organisation.
