Space, an inclusive youth and community organisation, is seeking to recruit youth workers who strive to be the best in their field. If you are a dynamic person with integrity, who respects others and enjoys working collaboratively, then Space will offer the working environment that's right for you.

Working with teenagers takes determination, resilience and humour. To join one of our teams, you will need to enjoy working with large groups of young people and see the true potential in each individual. You will need to be creative, willing to have a go and at times be prepared to challenge behaviours and attitudes that do not fit with our ethos of respect.

Young people's personal and social learning and experiences frames their future. If you feel that you can make a difference, challenge, nurture and support young people by helping them recognise their aspirations, celebrate diversity, stay safe and have fun; then you will be joining an organisation that will help you reach your potential. The community youth worker job will also have a large element of supporting adult youth leaders in the community. 

We have a variety of posts in different locations. Opportunities for those starting out but know they have a passion to make a difference and also for those who know how to lead youth work sessions, plan a curriculum and evaluate for improvement.

Your opinions and ideas will be valued as all employees, volunteers, young people, parents, stakeholders and partners have a voice at Space. We recruit for attitude - what's yours?
