About The Role
Do you want to take your first step into a career supporting young people to achieve their potential? If so, we would love to hear from you.
We have an exciting opportunity to recruit a Youth Development Worker working across Bodmin Foyer and Hendra Lodge (Liskeard) – supported accommodation for young people aged 16-25.
Bodmin Foyer is accredited with the Foyer Federation meaning we take a strength based approach, called Advantaged Thinking, in all the work we do; encouraging young people experiencing homelessness to aim high, dream big and fulfil their ambitions.
What will my working week look like?
Youth Development Workers work on a rolling rota: shifts can include 8am-4pm, 9am-5pm, 10am-6pm, and are part of a team on site supporting the young people who can live with us for a maximum of 2 years. The role includes some element of lone working.
Every day is different; you could be delivering 1-2-1 support sessions on life skills, reviewing an action plan, supporting a young person to a medical appointment, contributing to a multi-agency meeting or supporting group activities as part of the learning programme.
What will I be responsible for doing?
First and foremost, you will be providing key worker support to our young people. Working through support and action plans, updating risk assessments and risk management plans with them, in order for them to develop the life skills necessary to move on and live independently in the community.
One of the great things about this role is being able to bring your own personality. Our young people come from a wide range of backgrounds and we try to mirror that in our team of colleagues.
This role is being offered on a full time basis, working 37 hours per week on a rolling rota, to include Bank Holidays and weekend working. Bandwidth hours will be 8 am to 10 pm.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of vulnerable groups, and expect all colleagues to share this commitment. Appointment to the post will be subject to a satisfactory enhanced check via the Disclosure and Barring Service.
If you would like to discuss this vacancy, please contact our Resourcing team on 01392 814 599 or email careers@livewest.co.uk.
About The Candidate
And what would make you stand out from the crowd?
You will need to take a creative approach to support; adapting your style of communication with each individual to provide a person-centred approach to help the young people establish and work towards their goals and aspirations.
To be a successful as a Youth Development Worker, here at LiveWest, you will have:
- An ability to engage with a range of young people.
- A tenacity in seeking the best outcomes for young people.
- A good understanding of young people’s needs, safeguarding and emotional and mental health issues.
- An understanding of support needs and support planning.
- An understanding risk assessing and risk management.
Ideally you will be:
- Innovative and creative in your ways of working.
- Resilient and flexible in dealing with others.
- Able to work under pressure and meet deadlines.
- Confident in lone working and be a good team player.
This role is really suited to someone who likes to manage their own diary and caseload, and enjoys interacting with lots of people on a daily basis.
The most important part of this role is to have pride in your work and have a positive attitude, a proactive approach and the confidence to support a diverse range of young people. You will be able to balance your passion and commitment with good organisational skills, and the ability to maintain professional boundaries.
