We are working with a social justice and harm reduction charity empowering people to empower change. That offer a wide range of services across England within drug & alcohol, domestic abuse, children & young people’s services, criminal justice and housing.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the children and young people’s team for passionate and enthusiastic individuals to be part of shaping and delivering a new early support youth hub pilot within Merry Hill Shopping Centre, Dudley. The hub will support people aged 13+ and those who feel they still require a young people’s approach up to 25. It brings together our specialisms, complimented by wider partnership delivery and lead areas of responsibility.

We have three positions, each to have a lead theme area including relationships, youth engagement and emotional health and wellbeing. As this is a pilot these lead themes may change and develop depending upon the needs of young people and the service. (Please state your preference during your application)

The post holder will be the first point of contact within the youth advice hub, providing initial information, advice & guidance and facilitating connections to other support or specialist services. The post holder will be expected to provide a range of planned engagement activities/clubs and undertake wellbeing coaching for those who need help. There will be an element of promotion and outreach within local schools and colleges to encourage young people to attend.

This youth advice hub will play a crucial role in providing: –

• Accessible open access information, advice & guidance.
• Tailored emotional and practical support that is trauma informed.
• Timetable of access for partner agencies including sexual health, substance use, mental health.
• Promoting positive well-being through themed events and clubs.
• Preventing escalation including wellbeing coaching to those who access the hub that may need short term goals focused support.

It will serve as an easy to access, youth friendly space which will allow young people to get help and advice at the earliest opportunity.

We are looking for a team that brings high energy and enthusiasm with the ability to inspire, building rapport to develop trusted relationships within an informal setting. You will have a unique opportunity to make a real difference by engaging and intervening early and preventing escalation.
