Role

TD1 Youth Hub is recruiting a Project Lead for TD1 Cashback Extra, a major three-year youth work project supporting young people aged 11 to 18 in Galashiels and Langlee.

Funded through CashBack for Communities, the project will provide trusted relationships, targeted youth work, positive activities and community-based support for young people affected by poverty, trauma, exclusion, antisocial behaviour and wider risk.

We are looking for an experienced, values-led youth work practitioner who believes in real community work and the difference trusted adults can make in young people’s lives. You will help lead and shape this new project, coordinate delivery, support staff and sessional workers, build strong partnerships and make sure young people get the right support at the right time.

This is a hands-on role. You will need to be comfortable building relationships with young people, planning and leading youth work activity, supporting a small team, working with partners and keeping good records of impact and learning.

The working pattern has some flexibility. The role will normally include one evening youth work session per week and responsibility for coordinating and supporting the Saturday youth work team. Hours can be discussed with the right candidate, between 28 and 35 hours per week.

We offer a supportive team culture, regular supervision, training and development opportunities, and the chance to lead a flagship project with real local impact.

TD1 Youth Hub is committed to safer recruitment, equality, diversity and inclusion. This post involves regulated work with children and young people and will be subject to PVG scheme membership, satisfactory references and right to work checks.
