In this role, you would be part of the staff team assisting in providing and facilitating activities, mentoring young people, leading or assisting with the leadership of projects and promoting the values and objectives of BYP.

BYP’s mission is to empower and support children and young people to improve their life opportunities by helping them grow both as individuals and as members of the community.

Our aim is to engage young people in purposeful activity in a safe space they can call their own, where they can relax, be creative, have fun, make friends, develop their interests and skills, talk and discuss, increase self-awareness, take on responsibility, seek advice and support, and increase their understanding of the community around them and their involvement in it.

This is supported by the following objectives:

  • To develop and consistently support young peoples' social, emotional and mental wellbeing through activities, advice and mentoring.
  • To reduce incidences of antisocial behaviour (e.g. bullying, aggression and crime) and of low self-esteem through developing a sense of community responsibility and personal empowerment
  • To improve relationships with peers, parents and other stakeholders in the wider community.
  • To have positive on-going engagement with young people which will adapt and evolve to meet their needs and ensure BYP’s long-term sustainability.

We are looking for people with some experience of working with children and young people. The current rate of pay for Assistant Youth Support Workers is £10.42 per hour. BYP is open on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday evenings from 6.00 until 9.00 and on Saturday afternoons from 1.00 until 4.00.
