Sessional Youthworkers

Cirencester/Fairford

The Door Youth Project

Do you have a passion for supporting young people to grow and reach their potential?  Do
you want to be part of an amazing charity, recognised by the National Youth Agency for the
quality of its work with young people and families?  With our inclusive team dedicated to
providing positive role models, safe spaces and hope for a brighter future, The Door could
be the place for you.

A Christian youth charity based in Gloucestershire, The Door was established in 1991 for the
benefit of all young people aged 11 to 25 and their families. It’s a place where every young
person and their parents can feel safe, happy and valued, with the best possible opportunity
to reach their potential.

We are currently looking for enthusiastic, friendly and dedicated individuals to join our
award-winning youthwork team. In this role you will assist our Community Youthworkers in
running both indoor and detached (street-based) youthwork sessions in the South Cotswolds.

Experience of working with young people in a youthwork setting and an awareness of the
issues facing young people today would be helpful. However, we are keen to hear from
applicants of all backgrounds and experience levels who are simply passionate about being
an outstanding role model and are eager to support young people.

Full training is provided, as is ongoing support and commitment to your personal growth
and development in the role. You will need to be available for approximately three late
afternoons and/or evening sessions per week, including both school term times and holiday
periods (more work may be available).

You will need to have your own transport to enable you to work across multiple youth club
locations, particularly in Cirencester, Fairford and Lechlade. Travel expenses are paid when
working away from your usual centre. We would especially welcome applications from the
Cirencester/Fairford area.

Following receipt of your application, you may be invited for an interview and youth club
taster session, in which case your references will be taken up.
