Overview
Can I borrow 30 seconds?
When we speak to youth workers and educators, they often tell us they’re:
- Frustrated that too many roles focus on ticking boxes instead of changing lives.
- Disappointed when promised “impact” but given little more than admin and targets.
- Unsure how to combine qualifications delivery with the kind of pastoral care that really helps young people grow.
I get the impression none of these apply to you?
They do? Thought so. Well, I’ve had my 30 seconds. Give me a minute more and read on…
The role
This is a frontline role where your skills make the difference. You’ll be helping young people in Belfast build confidence, resilience, and direction through a mix of structured learning and consistent support.
You’ll:
- Deliver tailored inductions, diagnostics, and action plans that set clear learner pathways.
- Deliver personal and social development, employability learning, and accredited qualifications (RRQ Preparation for Work and Foundations for Learning and Life).
- Provide pastoral care and 1:1 support that keeps young people engaged and motivated.
- Maintain accurate records, safeguarding standards, and compliance at every stage.
- Adapt delivery to meet local needs and ensure outcomes that align with funding and partner goals.
The person
Let me ask you:
- Do you hold a PGCE, CIT, or Level 3/4 Youth Work qualification that covers planning, delivering, and evaluating learning with young people?
- Or, if you hold a Youth Work qualification, are you willing to start the CIT within 2 years?
- Do you have experience delivering youth programmes or qualifications in personal development or employability?
- Are you confident working with young people who face barriers and need consistent encouragement?
- Do you see challenge as motivation and outcomes as the real measure of success?
If you’re saying yes, this role is built for you.
What’s in it for you?
- Salary of £25,000 – £30,000 DOE and qualifications.
- Immediate access to wellbeing tools (GP, counselling, Headspace).
- Enhanced healthcare, lifestyle rewards, pension, and salary sacrifice options.
- Structured development through our Your Career, Your Journey framework.
- The chance to make real impact in Belfast by combining education, mentoring, and pastoral care.

- Be Ambitious: act with drive and purpose.
- Be Inspiring: empower and uplift others.

So let’s finish with one last question:
If we could give you the chance to use your qualifications, care, and consistency to empower young people into brighter futures — is there any reason you wouldn’t apply today?
