Greater Manchester, United Kingdom N-Gage Full time

**ABOUT**

N-Gage is a Manchester based charity that gives young people at risk of educational or social exclusion opportunities and skills to achieve their full potential.

Working in partnership with schools, Greater Manchester Police, Manchester City Council, and other partners we provide highly successful, flexible, and targeted approaches to anti-social behaviour and educational exclusion.

Founded by Christie Spurling (MBE, FRSA) in 2006 in response to his own experiences of educational exclusion. N-Gage is now staffed by a growing team of passionate youth workers who combine creative skills and a commitment to young people with a range of projects and programmes across Greater Manchester.

N-Gage believes it is vital that young people attain the full benefit from their education and take responsibility for their behaviour. The charity strives to develop positive citizenship through school's work and detached youth work.

**JOB DESCRIPTION**

N-Gage’s goal as a charity is to work with young people to enable them to reach their full potential.

Catalyst is our detached and centre-based youth work project which operates from a mobile youth centre to facilitate workshops for young people aged 9-18 at locations across Greater Manchester.

The Catalyst Sessional Staff role involves playing a key role in the delivery of these youth work sessions on a weekday evening.

**MAIN DUTIES**
- Under the guidance and support of your Team Leader deliver the Catalyst programme at locations across Greater Manchester. This includes spending time with young people, acting as a positive role model, investing time in their interests and proactively seeking to understand what motivates and challenges them.
- Engaging in a range of sport and social activities both on and off the mobile youth vehicle.
- Ensuring the welfare of the young people and the N-Gage team through education in such areas of their life as financial and emotional health.
- With direction from your Team Leader or Manager, play an active role in any community action projects or residential trips which may be included in the Catalyst area in which you are working.
- Encourage the development of young people holistically (spiritually, emotionally and physically) in line with N-Gage's beliefs and key aims.
- Be an enthusiastic ambassador of the N-Gage charity.
- Consider how each young person that you encounter may be able to progress into other N-Gage programmes or other partner agency services.

**PERSON SPECIFICATION**

**ESSENTIAL**
- Passion to work with young people.
- Fully conversant with principles and practice of Child Protection.
- Ability to drive, with own transport or a willingness to use public transport where possible to get to sessions.
- Have a proven capacity to function as a team player.
- Be able to communicate effectively with young people.
- Demonstrate respect for authority including Team Leaders, Directors, CEO and Trustees.
- Be able to show evidence of possessing the ability to relate to groups of differing ability, age and culture.
- To adapt quickly and take responsibility when required and to handle confidential information appropriately.
- To play a full and active role as a worker for N-Gage, through participation in events and meetings when required whilst working, in line with the ethos of the charity.

**DESIRABLE**

- Experience of creative youth work in the community.
