London, United Kingdom streatham youth and community trust Full time

WE ARE SEEKING AN AMAZING PERSON TO HELP US DELIVER OUR NEW ‘COLOURS AND FRIENDS’ PILOT PROGRAMME FOR LGBTQ+ YOUNG PEOPLE AND ALLIES.

Colours and Friends is an innovative new pilot programme delivering a combination of one-to-one support, weekly LGBTQ+ youth work sessions, and monthly outings for LGBTQ+ young people and allies. This 12-month Lambeth-wide pilot programme is funded by Lambeth Council and aims to provide a safe space and positive activities to support the wellbeing of LGBTQ+ young people and allies aged 13 to 19.

We are looking for a very special person to join our amazing youth work team in Streatham to lead on the day-to-day delivery of the Colours and Friends programme. Working with young people aged 13 - 19, you will run a weekly LGBTQ+ group session offering a safe space to meet and socialise for young people who identify as LGBTQ+. In addition, you will organise a monthly ‘Colours and friends’ event in partnership with other Lambeth-based organisations. These monthly events will give LGBTQ+ young people and allies an opportunity to engage in positive, confidence building activities whilst also giving opportunities to start exploring any questions they may have around gender identify, expression and sexual preference. Finally, you will offer one-to-one support sessions for those requiring further support or signposting.

To be successful in the role, you will need knowledge and experience of working with young people and a real passion for supporting LGBTQ+ young people and their allies. In addition, you need to be a strong networker, with a can-do attitude, and a flair for coming up with fun activities and outings that young people will want to engage in.

We know people like you are as rare as unicorns, but we are optimistic that the right person is out there waiting for an opportunity like this.

Job Purpose:
To run a Lambeth-wide pilot project for young people aged 13 - 19 who identify with the LGBTQ+ community
- Plan and deliver engaging weekly sessions, monthly events and one-to-one sessions.
- Build strong working relationships with the young people accessing the service in a strength-based and trauma-informed way.
