The post of Youth Engagement Officer is funded by the National Lottery Communities Fund to improve the life opportunities of 80 young people from ethnic minority communities.  We are seeking someone who has a good level of insight into and is empathetic to the needs of young people, who are facing multiple barriers to fulfilling their potential. Participants will be at higher risk of long-term unemployment, poorer skills (including life skills) and outcomes as a direct result of social, economic and systematic disadvantages and lack of equity of opportunity.   


Working in an integrated service, the Youth Engagement Officer will engage with key stakeholders, a citizen’s panel, and delivery partners who are working with families to tackle poverty. The focus will be on supporting young people from ethnic minorities to access services and linking them with employability providers to ensure that their aspirations and potential are achieved.   The post holder will ensure that the young people’s voices are heard and placed at the heart of service delivery, development and improvement.  


The Youth Engagement Officer will be line managed by the Strategy and Development Manager, working as part of an integrated team with other officers and partners, each with a specific focus on achieving positive outcomes for minority ethnic communities. They will support young people to access and sustain work experience/ internships, vocational training, volunteering and further/higher education and employment. The post holder will deliver mentoring and advocacy support that is tailored to the needs of each individual young person; where appropriate linking them with employability providers, to ensure sustainable social and economic outcomes for young people.  The post holder will work with the team to develop appropriate targets and measures of success.
