Youth & Children’s Workers
(2 posts: 12 hours per week and 4 hours per week)
Salary: £13.45 per hour
Contract: Fixed-term for 12 months (with potential for permanency)
Working Pattern: Friday evenings with other hours to be negotiated
Location: Trethomas and surrounding area
Employer: The Parish Trust
The Parish Trust is seeking two motivated and committed Youth & Children’s Workers to join our growing team. These roles are ideal for people who are passionate about young people, confident working independently, and excited by the opportunity to shape provision in response to real need in the community.
While we currently run a Friday evening youth club, these roles go beyond delivering a single weekly session. The successful candidates will be self-starters who can identify need, develop projects, and engage children and young people in ways that support their wellbeing, confidence, and sense of belonging.
The roles
We are recruiting:
One post of 12 hours per week
One post of 4 hours per week
…with the potential for additional hours and overtime depending on projects and funding
Hours may include evenings and occasional weekends by agreement.
Key responsibilities
Deliver high-quality youth and children’s work, including our Friday evening youth provision
Identify emerging needs among children and young people and help design projects and activities in response
Plan, prepare, and deliver engaging, inclusive, and safe sessions and projects
Build positive, trusting relationships with children, young people, families, and volunteers
Work with, support, and help coordinate volunteers involved in youth and children’s activities
Record attendance, engagement, and outcomes, and contribute to reporting on impact for grant funders and internal monitoring
Carry out general administrative tasks linked to the role, including planning, record-keeping, and basic reporting
Ensure spaces are left safe, clean, and tidy after activities, including setting up and clearing away equipment
Work at all times in line with safeguarding policies, procedures, and best practice
Represent the ethos and values of The Parish Trust positively within the community
Person specification
Essential criteria
Applicants must be able to demonstrate:
A recognised youth work or children’s work qualification, or substantial and relevant experience in youth or children’s work
Experience of working directly with children and/or young people in a structured setting
The ability to work independently, use initiative, and develop activities or projects in response to identified need
A sound understanding of safeguarding and professional boundaries, with a clear commitment to safeguarding best practice
Strong communication skills and the ability to build positive, respectful relationships
Reliability, good organisation, and the ability to follow through on commitments
Desirable criteria
It would be an advantage if applicants also have:
Experience of working within a faith-based organisation or charity
Experience of working with or managing volunteers
An understanding of community-based youth work and early intervention approaches
Experience of project planning, delivery, and evaluation
Familiarity with wellbeing-focused or relational youth work approaches
Why work for The Parish Trust?
The Parish Trust is a values-driven charity rooted in the local community. We exist to bring life in all its fullness to people of every age, and our youth and children’s work is central to that mission.
We offer:
Generous leave: 28 days annual leave pro rata, plus bank holidays
Additional closure: a full week off at Christmas and a week at Easter, in addition to annual leave
Competitive pension: 8% matched pension contributions after 2 years’ service
Flexible working: where the role and safeguarding allow
A supportive, relational team environment within a growing charity
The opportunity to make a genuine difference to the lives of children and young people
Safeguarding
The Parish Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All appointments will be subject to satisfactory references and an enhanced DBS check.
