About the role: The Inclusion Team focuses on ensuring the Youth Zone’s provision for young people (aged 8-19, up to 25 with additional needs) is inclusive; supports community cohesion and provides an environment where members from diverse demographics, ethnic communities, and those with disabilities feel safe, involved and welcome. The role is key to removing barriers that young people may face in accessing the Youth Zone. In addition to supporting them in reaching their full potential, you will provide young people with someone to talk to and encourage them to engage, on their own terms, with the wider offer and programme at the Youth Zone. About EMPOWER: Empower Youth Zones is the charity that oversees the creation, management and sustainability of Youth Zones in Manchester and Salford. These include HideOut Youth Zone located in Gorton (East Manchester) which opened in 2020, and Salford Youth Zone located in Pendleton, which opened to young people in June 2025. HideOut and Salford Youth Zone provide children and young people aged 8-19 and up to 25 for those with additional needs with somewhere safe to go, something positive to do and someone trusted to talk to. Youth Zones are purpose-built spaces fizzing with energy and crammed with incredible facilities. They are staffed by skilled and dedicated Youth Workers who truly believe in young people – helping them see what they could achieve, and giving them the skills, confidence and ambition to go for it. This is life-changing support that helps tens of thousands of young people from a diverse range of backgrounds to thrive. HideOut and Salford Youth Zone are part of a national and growing network of Onside Youth Zones. There are currently 17 active Onside Youth Zones across the UK with 22 due to be open by 2025.
