Job Description:
We are looking for youth work practitioners, tutors, or similar with experience of leading activities for children and young people.
Monday and Tuesday Evenings. £12.72 per hour. 11 hours per week term time.
Activities will take place in the YMCA building in Wood Street, offering a variety of sessions for a range of interests and abilities. We have small to medium rooms and halls suitable for art and craft, creative writing, music, dance, exercise, and fitness (note: currently no space for ball games).
We are developing psychologically informed approaches across all our work, focusing activities on children and young people who need us most, including those who have experienced or witnessed difficult situations and those who typically do not access out-of-school activities. We recognize the impact on family participation and aim to make sessions accessible to all.
We are keen to pilot new activities and run funded sessions based on our prior learning and evidence.
Our Activity Leaders may have specific interests but should be willing to take on new activities as well.
You will need to adapt, learn quickly, share your enjoyment with young people, and understand the importance of monitoring and evaluation in developing and sustaining new work.
Main Responsibilities:
* Plan and deliver creative, wellbeing, and social activities for children and young people aged 5-25, aligned with project outlines.
* Ensure effective behaviour management within a psychologically-informed context.
* Maintain logs and monitor activities, including financial and efficiency records.
* Contribute to consultations on new provisions with data, anecdotal evidence, and support cases.
* Organize or attend events to promote YMCA Doncaster’s activities to young people and supporters.
* Ensure participants are aware of available YMCA services.
* Manage equipment and resources responsibly.
* Supervise placements and volunteers as needed.
* Follow safeguarding procedures and other policies.
* Approach the role professionally, maintaining appropriate boundaries.
* Perform additional duties as appropriate to meet YMCA Doncaster’s needs.
