Preston, Lancashire, United Kingdom Lancashire County Council Full time
Job Description

Lancashire County Council is seeking a skilled Youth Development Specialist to join their team.

About the Role

The ideal candidate will have a nationally recognised JNC qualification for Youth and Community Workers and evidence of continued professional development.

Main Responsibilities

This role involves delivering targeted prevention and early intervention work to ensure young people get the help they need early and reduce the necessity for higher cost specialist intervention.

You will contribute to the delivery of youth work opportunities in various settings, including youth clubs and collaborating with schools and other agencies.

Key duties include initiating and developing relationships with 11-19 year olds and up to 25 year olds for vulnerable young people, enabling them to access social and personal development, as well as learning opportunities.

You will also design and develop youth work responses underpinned by the four cornerstones of youth work: equality, participation, education, and empowerment.

Requirements

To be successful in this role, you must have good IT, organisation, and communication skills, with the ability to establish positive relationships with diverse groups of young people and partners.

You will need to respond flexibly to their needs and priorities, record data on a management information system, meet targets, produce reports, and correspond with young people, parents, and partners.

Working Conditions

The post requires travel across districts and at times across county, so access to a vehicle is essential. Face-to-face work includes trips, activity days, and residentials.

Benefits

This role offers a competitive salary range of £25,000 - £30,000 per annum, depending on experience.

Please submit a supporting letter explaining how you meet the person specification included in the role profile.
