Nottingham, United Kingdom Switch Up Full time

Job Advert

Switch Up changes lives. We work with young people, often from deprived backgrounds and help them turn their lives around. We aren’t like other services, we provide bespoke packages of support and will do whatever it takes to get results. We are resilient and relentlessly optimistic about the future of our young people.

Do you get fulfillment from working with young people and have an ability to connect with them so you can provide mentoring, guidance and life skills to a diverse range of young people, helping them achieve their true potential against all odds? Our Youth mentors are special, they deliver workshops in schools and the community, they engage the hardest to reach young people using their excellent motivational skills. If this sounds like you, and you have experience of this type of work in a paid, voluntary or personal capacity, we are looking for the right people to join our team of Targeted Youth Mentors.

Each young person is different, so you will be creative, putting the interventions in place that are needed, liaising with other professionals and recording everything you do.

The salary is £25,000 - 27,000 pa for a full time role depending on experience, with the potential for career progression. A car is necessary as you will be supporting and mentoring young people across Nottinghamshire.

If you can:

- Bring out the best in young people
- See the positives when things get tough
- Are super organised
- Have great communication and admin skills
- Use a laptop in a paperless environment

We’d love to hear from you.

The role is full time and you would need businesses insurance on your car and a willingness to transport young people. You would be based in Nottingham City or Mansfield depending on where you live, and would be required to travel between sites.

If you have personal experience of the issues faced by our young people or are experienced in youth work then we’d love to hear from you but it is not essential.

If you’d like to know more and think you might be a good fit, send us your CV, we are eager to talk to you.
