We are seeking a part time Adventure Youth Workers who will bring energy and inspiration to our talented and dedicated team.
Our significant impact on educational exclusion began in Bristol in 2011. Our highly successful alternative education provision is varied, engaging and impactful, offering a programme of personal and social development across Bristol and its neighbouring local authorities. Our programmes empower young people to make significant personal progress, to gain hope, and to be inspired to journey towards a positive future. At the heart of our ethos is a spirit of adventure and responsible risk-taking. We use adrenaline sports and adventure activities to deliver personal and social development programmes that lead to lasting change in the lives of many young people.
As the successful candidate for the Adventure Youth Worker role you will demonstrate a real passion for seeing the lives of vulnerable teenagers transformed and have a strong professional track record that reveals competency, commitment, and strong character qualities. You will have an outgoing approach to life and be enthused by the learning opportunities afforded by adrenaline sports and adventure activities. You will have a range of personal qualities that align with our person specification and be fully committed to our organisational values. A full driving licence with a minimum of 2 years experience is essential.
As an Adventure Youth Worker you will be a part of the team working alongside our young people in order to support them reaching their full potential, running the sessions as part of the Urban Pursuit education programme.
Young people typically attend Urban Pursuit one day each week, alongside their main educational provision. In this role you will work in a pair to support a group of up to six young people each day as part of a varied activity curriculum. As you grow in competence and familiarity with the operations and culture of the company, you will have the opportunity to work with other young people on a one-to-one basis.
The working days for part-time staff remain the same each week to provide consistency for the young people. For example, someone committing to working on Tuesdays and Fridays would continue to work those two set days each week going forward.
