**Organisational Context**:
YMCA Fairthorne Group is a community-based charity with a serious ambition to grow our already successful social enterprise model. Our purpose allows people the opportunity to lead happy, healthy lives. We achieve this through bringing _**people**_ of all backgrounds and abilities together in YMCA _**places**_ and delivering effective _**programmes.**_

We operate throughout Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, and Southampton various venues. Our programmes includes early years settings, Daycamps, community activities and housing for young people.

**Fairthorne Manor**:
YMCA Fairthorne Manor works with over 20,000 children and young people each year, primarily through our outdoor education and play based programmes where we engage children 4 years and upwards on both a residential and day basis. We encourage people to build positive relationships, foster confidence and self-esteem and provide an opportunity to try new challenges. To achieve this, we use a wide variety of outdoor activities including canoeing, climbing, abseiling, archery and high ropes as well as a fun and enjoyable residential programme.

During term time we deliver a diverse outdoor education programme to school and community groups. In the school holidays, our popular Daycamp programme offers exciting opportunities for up to 500 children aged 4-16 years old per day. Our range of programmes include children’s birthday parties, family open days and community activity sessions 7 days a week year-round.

**Job Purpose**:
Age Group Leaders are responsible for over seeing the smooth running of an age group of children at Daycamps. An age group for Activity Club consists of up to 18 groups of 14 children (Y3-6). Each group of children is lead by a Daycamp Leader (Playworker). The Age Group Leader supports with the day to day running of Activity Club including leading the rest of the team, ensuring groups head to activities on time, and the age group base remains tidy. Age Group leaders will also support the Daycamp Coordinator and Deputy Daycamp coordinator with day to day tasks such as sign in and out of children, tuck shop, and children’s packed lunches.

Age Group Leaders should have some previous experience, or are studying play, youth, education or social care. Leadership skills are essential.

All staff at YMCA are expected to work within “The YMCA Way”. The YMCA Way defines _how_ we deliver our services and has 6 lenses through which we view our work:
► YMCA vision: to transform communities so that all children, young people, and families can truly belong, contribute, and thrive.

► YMCA mission: to add value to young lives by providing experiences which challenge, enable and develop the individual.

► YMCA values: welcoming, listening, caring, exciting, active, and inspiring.

► Developmental Assets: The result of a longitudinal study by Search Institute of millions of children, which has identified 40 common “Assets” which contribute to positive life outcomes. We audit our services against their ability to deliver or influence Asset development. The strength of the Asset model is that it enables us to evaluate our performance against service inputs and outputs only, as the outcomes and indicators are already evidenced.

► External regulation: includes regulatory frameworks (e.g., Ofsted), quality assurance schemes, contracted service specifications and monitoring and evaluation.

► YMCA staff behaviours: we want our staff to be inspirational role models.

We believe that if all the above are in place, we will deliver excellent outcomes-based services which create genuine positive change for children, young people, and families. Each service has a YMCA Way Champion.
