Could you become the personal champion of a young person facing barriers to achieving their goals? The South Coast Foundations team are looking for a new Youth Development Lead! Working across our Get Started and Explore programmes, you’ll lead personal development sessions that range from outdoor activities in green spaces to world of work experiences, creative projects, life skills and everything in between. There is an occupational requirement to have a male Youth Development Lead; this is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim. The role involves frequent, funded travel between Southampton and Portsmouth, programme visits and quarterly short residential trips. You will provide pastoral support for young people, help them apply newly acquired skills to their progression into education or employment, and meticulously record data on participants, volunteers and partners to meet funding contracts and maximise impact.
You will keep safety first, overseeing safeguarding, health and safety and data protection. You will empower delivery partners and service providers to create impactful partnership work and ensure every young person embarks on a remarkable journey. The Trust advocates for an inclusive workplace where everybody feels seen, and we would love you to share that passion. You will implement a local action plan that harmonises with our EDI goals and impacts those who need us most.
Ready for this exciting opportunity? Let’s make every day count and create a brighter future for our young people. Last year we helped more than 40,000 young people, with three‑in‑four moving into a positive outcome for work, education or training.
