Recreational Youth Worker

Future Youth Zone is looking for a committed Youth Worker to work with and create relationships with young people, with an ice breaker, game, or challenge for every occasion. The “rec area” is the heart of the Youth Zone and you will be passionate about creating a fun, positive, challenging, and energetic environment, alongside facilitating conversations with young people to explore their views and express their opinions.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to progress and develop their career in Youth Work or transition into the sector. As a Rec Youth Worker, you will be key in ensuring young people have access to an exciting and engaging programme, which could range from pool competitions, hosting your own version of ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’, to organising a debate on mental health or hosting an anti-bulling project. The possibilities are endless. You would be responsible for creating a lively, dynamic, creative, and fun-loving environment for all young people, whilst also creating space for young people to explore and discuss some of the big issues of the day and of course, have FUN! The successful applicant needs to be full of energy, be able to think creatively on their feet and be able to engage young people through a game of FIFA, a gladiator’s challenge, or a paper aeroplane race.
