Outdoor Learning Youth Worker

Young Somerset is the largest youth and community support charity in Somerset, providing a
range of bespoke services for young people and their families to suit the needs of the
communities we operate in.

Due to the continued growth of our Alternative Provision and Outdoor Learning teams, Young
Somerset are looking to recruit a Youth Worker with experience of working with
children and young people in outdoor settings, groups, alternative education and some mentoring
on a 1:1 basis. 

This role would suit those from an environmental education, or youth work background or
somebody working in the environmental or conservation sector but with experience of working
with young people. 

We are looking for people who have experience of working with young people in a variety of
outdoor/community/education settings, who have empathy and an understanding of the key
challenges young people in Somerset face. A Level 3 qualification in a relevant area (such as
Youth and community work, social care or education) is required (or commitment to work towards
one).

We are currently operating through a blend of digital and face to face work. However, this is a
role that will be predominately working directly with young people. This will involve also
require some countywide travel.

Learning) – 07773 343335
