Are you a patient, resilient and empathetic person who believes in the potential of every young person? Do you want a role where you can make a real, lasting difference?
Hertfordshire Services for Young People is seeking passionate Youth Workers to help create safe, supportive and engaging environments for young people across our communities.
Hertfordshire Services for Young People is the primary provider of youth work, careers education advice guidance, work related learning, work experience and the review and maintenance of education health and care plans for young people post-16 / post school.
Our vision is clear: we want young people to succeed. By joining us, you will play a vital role in making that happen.
You will work with vulnerable / at risk young people to address emerging needs, improve life chances and prevent escalation to more intensive services.

You will mainly work with young people aged 11-17, and up to 25 for Care Leavers and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
You’ll be delivering important targeted work with 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 will 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.
You’ll either need a nationally recognised JNC qualification or the ability to complete the JNC higher education qualification.

- Ability to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing.
- Ability to prioritise workload and planning.
- Ability to work regular evenings in line with JNC terms and conditions.
