St Austell, United Kingdom Active8 Full time

**A bit about Active8**

Active8 was created in 1990 on the request of a young man with a physical disability. He asked his social worker to arrange for him to meet with other like minded young people who faced similar challenges to him.

A residential programme was started, giving young people with physical disabilities an opportunity to meet up and try a range of exciting, challenging activities. Activities include surfing, sailing, abseiling, disability sports, arts and crafts and music events. Through this programme, young people discover that they can achieve what they never thought possible, and this filters into their everyday lives, where they become more independent and autonomous.

It became evident that once the programme finished, many young people still needed support to continue their journey to full autonomy. Employment, independent living, use of public transport, continued access to friendship and new opportunities were still areas that young people needed support with. In the past, the group have helped organise trips to the ParaAthletics in London, cookery classes at Rick Steins, theatre trips, visits to Tattoo exhibitions and ComicCons, weekend trips to Butlins and various fundraising activities. The group also carries out various advocacy work including supporting organisations to become more accessible and raising disability awareness through attending conferences and running workshops.

**What it is like working for Active8**

We are a charity that supports the wellbeing and aspirations of young people and consequently the wellbeing of our staff is first and foremost.

We welcome flexible working and trust our staff to manage their own time.

No matter what your role is within Active8 we encourage staff to get involved with the youth work delivery and join the activities to see what the hard work behind the scenes is for.

Full time employees are entitled to 28 days annual leave and TOIL for any additional work they do.

**The role**

This is an exciting chance to really make a substantial difference to the number of young people who can be reached by Active8.

However willingness to learn, passion for the cause and transferable skills count for a lot and training will be provided if you do not have direct experience but you are creative, good at organisation, enjoy building relationships and have an eye for detail.

An average week might involve a residential or day activity with our group. It might be meeting members on a 121 to support them with their individual needs or planning the next exciting event for our members to attend.

As you would expect when working for a small charity no two days are the same and we all ‘muck in’ doing things outside of any job description - which will make working at Active8 so varied and enjoyable.

**Job description**

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated youth worker who has excellent planning skills, is great at communicating with different groups of people and the ability to support our members to lead.

**Key responsibilities**
- Illumin8 programme development and delivery in consultation with members including 121 work, group activities and advocacy, through at least one day or residential weekend per month and additional evening work.
- Work alongside participant’s families and other professionals who work with them to support participant’s personal development.
