Location: Fylde Coast 
Hours: 4 hours per week (evenings/weekends as agreed)
Rate: £13 per hour (subject to experience) 
Contract: Sessional (12 months initially)

About the Role:
We’re looking for a supportive, reliable, and engaging Sessional Youth Support Worker to work alongside a group of young men involved in a coastal social action project. This is not a leadership position, it’s about showing up, being present, and helping to create safe, inclusive spaces where young men can explore identity, community, and what it means to make change.

You’ll be part of a wider youth-led programme focused on voice, creativity, and place-based social action. The role will involve assisting in the planning and delivery of weekly group sessions, supporting participation, and helping to build trust and consistency within the group.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work closely with the project lead to support the delivery of weekly sessions

• Build positive relationships with young men aged 14–25

• Help facilitate a safe, welcoming, and respectful space

• Provide encouragement and support without leading or directing

• Support group activities, discussions, and creative projects

• Assist with set-up, pack-down, and basic administration as needed

We’re Looking For Someone Who:

• Has experience working with young people, particularly young men

• Understands the value of youth-led, informal education and social action

• Can listen, encourage, and support without taking over

• Is dependable, reflective, and open-minded

• Has a commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion

Desirable (but not essential):

• Lived experience of the local area or similar communities

• Experience supporting creative, place-based, or youth voice projects

To Apply:
Please send a short cover email and CV to admin@uyacic.org  by 31st July. If you’d prefer to apply in another format or have questions about the role, we’d love to hear from you.
