Youth Workers: £31,528 - £33,945 per annum
HCC Services for Young People is the primary provider of youth work, career education information advice guidance and work related learning in Hertfordshire. Our vision for young people is clear. We want young people to succeed, and by working for us you'll be key to enable this to happen.
We work with the most vulnerable young people to address emerging needs, improve life chances and reduce escalation to more expensive and intensive services. This includes supporting those challenged in education, their community or home life, to ensure a successful transition to adulthood. The young people are typically 11-17 (up to 25 for Care Leavers and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities).

What's involved in the roles?
You'll be delivering important targeted work, working with the most vulnerable young people. This will involve leading on group work projects with support from Youth Support Workers and delivering one to one support. By delivering this work, you can make a real difference to young people's lives.
You would be giving young people support at an early stage, preventing their issues from seriously affecting their daily life, health, development or safety.
We are looking for candidates who can quickly establish positive relationships with diverse groups of young people and respond flexibly to their needs and the priorities of the service.
