An exciting opportunity has arisen as a result of a partnership between Youth Focus North East (YFNE) and the Great North Children’s Hospital (GNCH). GNCH have identified a new role for a Youth Worker to work and support young patients across the hospital.

The Youth Worker will help promote the social development of young patients via a range of activities, which will combine education with enjoyment, challenge resilience and learning. They will improve the advocacy for groups of patients currently under represented, assist in the transition to adult and tertiary care, accompany young people to hospital appointments and undertake advocacy work on the wards. They will also access community services and activities ensuring a smooth transition from hospital care into the community setting.
