Senior Youth Worker - Sports

XLP is a vibrant youth work charity dedicated to shaping bright futures for young people. Leading the charge against poverty and educational failure in inner London, we offer holistic, long-term support to 11 to 25 year olds in both schools and communities.

Our Sports Team work across London running 18 sports projects a week using gym sessions and football and running. These sessions form part of our wider community work in which we run 25 sessions a week on our mobile youth centres which encourage, motivate and mentor young people towards positive futures. These sessions enable a team of experienced youth workers to provide a range of services for young people. Whether table tennis or trivial pursuit, cooking or competitions, games consoles or group discussions, FIFA or Forza, we use our mobile youth centres to help London s young people create their positive future. We pride ourselves on being able to provide a safe and consistent environment where young people can grow.

We re looking for a Senior Youth Worker to join the team to enable us to continue this amazing youth work. As well as to grow our current offer for girls and young women. You ll also increase young people's physical participation in sports and fitness activities and help them develop greater life skills and more positive relationships along the way.

There is an occupational requirement that this newly created role is performed by a female: we are particularly wanting to grow our fitness and sports activities for girls and young women and provide a supportive and safe environment we are therefore welcoming applications from females for this position.

Our Sports motto is Set it, Reach it, Beat it. Could you help a young person reach their goals?

It is an occupational requirement under the Equality Act 2010 (Schedule 9, part 1) for this post to be filled by a woman.
