The posting

A safe place to live. Someone to believe in. A chance to move forward.

Not every young person starts adulthood with the same opportunities.

Some have experienced trauma.

Some have faced homelessness.

Some are struggling with emotional wellbeing, substance misuse or difficult life circumstances.

What many need most is somebody who will walk alongside them.

What the role is really about

As a Youth Engagement Worker at the YMCA Fairthorne Group at George Williams House, you'll develop and deliver engaging programmes and activities to the young people we support. You will help young people build confidence, develop skills and move closer towards being independent and leading happy and fulfilling lives.

Because meaningful change often starts with a trusted relationship.

YMCA Fairthorne Group, George Williams House is a purpose-built accommodation service close to Southampton city centre, providing a home for up to 52 young people aged between 18 to 25.

Many of the young people we support have experienced significant challenges and may have complex needs.

This role is about creating opportunities.

Opportunities to connect.

To learn.

To belong.

To build resilience.

To improve wellbeing.

And to take positive steps towards education, employment, training and independent living.

You'll work both one-to-one and in group settings, helping young people identify goals and supporting them to achieve them.

What you’ll do

You’ll:

  • develop, promote and deliver engaging daily activities and programmes for young people
  • support, mentor, coach and walk alongside young people as they work towards personal goals
  • undertake risk assessments and support planning
  • build positive and trusted relationships with residents
  • support activities that involve the wider community, including our adjacent youth centre
  • engage external partners and specialist agencies to deliver support and activities
  • advocate on behalf of young people and help them access appropriate services and opportunities
  • actively support young people into employment, education, training and volunteering opportunities
  • assist with the selection and induction of individuals applying for accommodation
  • maintain clear and accurate records and programme information
  • contribute to safeguarding, health and safety, and wellbeing processes
  • identify and respond appropriately to emerging risks and concerns

This role is about more than activities

Activities create opportunities. But the real impact comes from the relationships behind them. Sometimes success looks like a young person attending a session for the first time. Building enough confidence to speak in a group. Applying for a job. Starting a training course. Making a positive choice. Or asking for help when they need it. Progress isn't always measured in big milestones. Often it's found in the small steps that build towards lasting change.

Part of something bigger

YMCA Fairthorne Group Southampton is part of the YMCA Fairthorne Group, supporting children, young people and families across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

We believe every young person deserves the opportunity to build a positive future. Through accommodation, youth work, wellbeing support and community programmes, we help young people develop confidence, independence and resilience.

The work you do will directly contribute to helping young people: Belong. Contribute. Thrive.

Could this be you?

If you're an experienced Youth Worker, Engagement Worker, Support Worker, Community Development Worker or Housing Support Professional, and you're passionate about supporting young people to overcome challenges and achieve their goals, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and help create opportunities that change lives.

Requirements

The person we’re looking for

  • experience delivering programmes within a youth, adult or community-based setting
  • experience supporting young people or adults with complex needs
  • knowledge of trauma-informed approaches
  • an understanding of the challenges facing young people today
  • experience supporting individuals experiencing poor emotional wellbeing, trauma or substance misuse, or a willingness to develop these skills

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
