“Shaw Trust promotes team spirit, inclusiveness and it is an organisation where everybody is somebody. I am proud to be part of this great organisation.”
Purpose
We have an exciting and flexible opportunity for a #YouthWorker to join our Norfolk youth team for Prospects, part of Shaw Trust Youth. Based across Norfolk, including North Norfolk and Broadland, this role supports young people aged 14–18 who are at risk of statutory intervention and young people aged 10-14 on their progression from primary to secondary school.
We’re ideally looking for someone to join us for 30 hours per week, but we’re open to discussion — for the right person, this could be a year-round or term-time position, increasing hours during term-time.
Our Youth Workers enjoy autonomy and flexibility to tailor support to each young person, helping them make sustainable progress. As a key member of the Youth Early Support Service, you’ll have the chance to make a real difference in young lives, helping them realise their potential.
You’ll work across schools and the community, building trusted relationships and delivering impactful support. If you’re passionate about youth work and hold a minimum Level 3 qualification in Youth Work (or equivalent), we’d love to hear from you!
