Youth Engagement Worker
2 weeks ago
**Motive8 Youth C.I.C.** is a non-profit organisation that supports young people from local communities by creating safe, positive, and engaging opportunities to grow and thrive. While sport is one of the tools we use, our wider aim is to help young people develop confidence, resilience, and skills for life.
We are now recruiting a **Youth Engagement Worker** to join our team, working with children and young people across Wolverhampton in schools, community venues, and through outreach in local neighbourhoods.
About the Role
This role is about engaging young people from diverse backgrounds, helping them to feel valued, supported, and inspired to make positive choices. You’ll deliver a variety of activities — from informal education and creative projects to sport-based sessions — and create a safe environment where young people can enjoy themselves, learn, and achieve.
As part of the role, you will also provide **mentoring support** to young people on a one-to-one or small group basis, as well as take part in **outreach work**, meeting young people where they are and building relationships within their communities.
Key responsibilities include:
- Delivering youth sessions in schools, community settings, and on outreach.
- Building positive, supportive relationships with young people to encourage participation and personal growth.
- Providing mentoring to help young people with confidence, behaviour, or personal challenges.
- Using different engagement strategies (including sport, play, and creative activities) to connect with young people.
- Supporting behaviour management, conflict resolution, and creating safe, respectful spaces.
- Acting as a role model and supporting young people’s wellbeing and development.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone with experience of working with young people aged 8-17, ideally in a school, youth work, or community setting. You’ll be approachable, empathetic, and passionate about helping young people reach their potential.
You will be able to:
- Relate to young people from a wide range of backgrounds.
- Use creative and flexible approaches to engage and inspire participation.
- Offer mentoring and guidance to support young people’s personal development.
- Manage behaviour confidently and de-escalate challenging situations.
- Communicate effectively with young people, parents, and professionals.
- Work both independently and as part of a team.
**Requirements**:
- A valid DBS (we can support with this if you don’t already have one).
- Experience in youth work, mentoring, outreach, education, or community work.
- A recognised youth work or related qualification is desirable but not essential.
Contract Details
- **Contract type**: Casual - minimum of 10 hours
- **Hours**: Flexible, with sessions available weekdays from 3pm, evenings, weekends, and during school holidays.
**Job Types**: Part-time, Zero hours contract
Pay: £10.00-£20.00 per hour
