Salary:£28,000 per annum, pro-rata (equivalent to £24,400)
Contract: Fixed term until 31st March 2029
Hours: 30 hours per week
Location: Thirsk, North Yorkshire
North Yorkshire Together is a partnership between North Yorkshire Sport, North Yorkshire Youth and Rural Arts that supports residents to be happy and healthy. Currently we're leading programmes to support children on Free School Meals and refugees, and are a partner on Village Green, a North Yorkshire wide community-led climate change initiative.
We're excited to be recruiting a Schools & Families Engagement Manager to shape and deliver how FEAST supports and engages with schools, young people and their families across North Yorkshire. Reaching over 5,000 young people each year, FEAST has a real impact on the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable young people.
We're looking for someone with exceptional project and relationship management skills, who is skilled at partnership working and managing large volumes of data/communications. Experience working with schools is necessary, but this is not an activity delivery role.
You will have an understanding of community-based youth provision and how schools work. An ideal candidate would have experience and confidence running focus groups and consultation with children and young people, but training can be provided.
From a personnel perspective, you will be directly employed by North Yorkshire Youth, however you will engage with team members from across organisations on a daily basis to work cohesively as Team FEAST.
