Youth Development Coordinator

Working at YMCA Bournemouth is an opportunity to be a part of a global organisation working at a local community level in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. We are inclusive, diverse and forward-thinking. We work across areas including Housing and Support, Family and Relationships, Youth Work, Training and Education, and Health and Wellbeing to enable people in our local community to develop their full potential in Mind, Body and Spirit. People choose to work for us because they want to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable adults, children, young people and families and they want to work in an environment that will support them to do so. We run various youth services in the BCP area, including Townsend Youth Club and the 'Chatterboxes group for young people with disabilities and we work to inspire, train, mentor and support young people to empower them for life and to lead in the challenges of their generation. The Youth Development Coordinator will coordinate and manage YMCA Bournemouth's Youth Services (for children and young people aged between 5-26 years old), always ensuring that young people are at the heart of service provision and development. It is an exciting time for a Youth Development Coordinator to start with us as we look to put our new youth strategy into place and coordinate work with children and young people across our various departments, restarting youth work from Pokesdown Youth Centre and getting involved with our sports based children and youth services in Broadstone as well as leading and supporting the youth team based in Townsend. We are looking for a qualified and experienced individual, who is flexible and capable of implementing and developing our youth strategy whilst remaining people focussed and financially aware of budgeting and funding implications as new work develops., A Welcome to Applicants Application guidelines Additional guidelines Staff benefits A Statement on Ethos Safeguarding Policy Privacy Notice (Recruitment)
