Opportunities in districts teams and countywide
If you do not already hold a JNC qualification, we will fully fund your qualification – you’ll start with us as a trainee on £28,724 to £32,040.
Are you a patient, resilient, and empathetic person who believes in the potential of every young person? We are looking for passionate Youth Workers to help us create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for young people in our community.
Hertfordshire County Council Services for Young People is the primary provider of youth work, careers education advice guidance, work related learning, work experience and the review and maintenance of education health and care plans for young people post-16 / post school.
Our vision for young people is clear. We want young people to succeed! By working for us you’ll be key to enable this to happen.
We work with vulnerable young people to address emerging needs, improve life chances, and reduce escalation to more expensive and intensive services. This includes supporting those challenged in education, their community or home life, to ensure a successful transition to adulthood. The young people are typically 11-17 and up to 25 for Care Leavers and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
You’ll be delivering important targeted work with vulnerable young people. This will involve leading on group work projects with support from Youth Support Workers and delivering one to one support. By delivering this work, you can make a real difference to young people’s lives.
You will be giving young people support at an early stage, preventing their issues from seriously affecting their daily life, health, development, or safety.
We are looking for candidates who can quickly establish positive relationships with diverse groups of young people and respond flexibly to their needs and the priorities of the service.
You’ll either need a nationally recognised JNC qualification or the ability to complete the JNC high education qualification.
* Recent experience of working with young people.
* Ability to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing.
* Ability to prioritise workload and planning.
* Ability to work regular evenings in line with JNC terms and conditions.
* Confident in using ICT.
* Previous line management experience is desirable.
Where we are funding your JNC qualification, the funding is repayable if you leave within two years of post-qualification.
