Could you become the personal champion of a young person facing barriers to achieving their goals? Imagine peeling back the layers to discover what's holding them back so that you can unlock their potential for astonishing progress.
Imagine leading groups through a variety of personal and social development activities to stretch them and grow their comfort zone. Imagine having your own group of young people to support who will turn to you for that one-on-one support, guidance, and direction to progress towards their next steps of education or employment.
Safety always comes first, so keeping a watchful eye on safeguarding, health and safety, and data protection is part of the deal! You'll empower our delivery partners and service providers to make a difference through exciting and impactful partnership work. Together, we will ensure every young person embarks on a remarkable journey, experiencing the extraordinary and achieving the dreams they've aspired to.
Working across our Get Started and Explore programmes, you'll lead personal development sessions that take our foundation programmes to new heights. The sessions will range from outdoor activities in green spaces to world of work experiences and everything in between! You won't be sitting behind a screen every day, there will be frequent travel required to Portsmouth and Southampton to support the delivery of these exciting programmes, as well as programme visits and short residential trips.
However, it's not all fun and games, keeping things on point means meticulously recording info and data about our programme participants, volunteers, and partners. It's all about making sure every step of their journey aligns perfectly with our funding contracts and has maximum impact for everyone involved.
At The Trust, we're strong advocates for fostering an inclusive workplace where everybody feels seen, and it would be fantastic if you share that passion too. Your mission? Making a positive impact by implementing a local action plan that harmonises with our big-picture EDI goals and impacts those that need us most.
Be prepared for anything and everything. Alongside all these exciting responsibilities, you might even find yourself wearing different hats as you collaborate with the wider South Coast team to work for young people.
