**Job summary**:
Do you enjoy working with young people? Do you thrive in a team environment and have excellent organisation skills? If so, this could be the role for you.

We’re seeking a new Youth Programme Assistant to support the delivery of Kew’s exciting learning initiatives for young people, aged 14-17. The post holder will assist with all aspects of event set-up and delivery, for initiatives including the Youth Explainer programme and Kew Youth Forum. The programme engages hundreds of young people each year, encouraging a life-long appreciation of plants, science and the natural world, building understanding of the work of Kew, awareness of careers in the sector and efforts to halt biodiversity loss and climate change.

The post holder will be contracted to work one Saturday per week during school term time, which is when the majority of programme activities take place.

**Job description**:
The post holder will assist in pre-event preparation, hands on workshop support for practical activities and administrative work as required by the Programme Coordinator. The role will also involve occasional leading of pre-planned activities with young people and supervising small groups within the Gardens.

We’re looking for an individual with demonstrable previous experience of leading young people, in a formal or informal learning environment. Excellent communication and organisational skills are essential. You must be a strong team player, but also able to work proactively and independently, taking responsibility for specific tasks. Experience and knowledge of health and safety and safeguarding practices are essential for this role.

**Person specification**:
The post holder will be required to work on Saturdays during school term time. The ability to work flexibly to support occasional events on other days/evenings would also be beneficial for this role, but not essential.

**Benefits**:

- Our fantastic benefits package includes opportunities for continuous learning, a generous annual leave entitlement, flexible working to help you maintain a healthy work-life balance, an Employee Assistance Programme and other wellbeing support such as cycle to work scheme and discounted gym membership. We also offer a competitive pension, an employee discount scheme and free entry into a wide range of national museums and galleries, as well as access to our own beautiful gardens at Kew and Wakehurst.Things you need to know
