This is an exciting opportunity to join a small charity at a time of big growth. Go Forward Youth was founded by care leavers to provide support to care experienced young people as they transition to adulthood and independence. This is the beginning of a long-term service being delivered and requires developing the plans strategically. Our services aims are to reduce social isolation and improve outcomes for young adults who have recently left the care system by offering a place for them to turn in moments of celebration, loneliness, crisis and offering programmes that support them to develop the skills required for their independence, including an ambitious mix of enterprise training and work experience. This requires presenting to local authorities and third sector organisations to engage young people and develop partnerships with leaving care teams. Our long-term vision is to combat the stigma that surrounds leaving care so that care experienced people feel supported and empowered to achieve their ambitions without barriers to accessing opportunities and ongoing support. We run a busy programme of social activities when other services are closed, in part during the day, evenings and weekends, to enhance personal development, and employability and training skills for care leavers across London and we are looking for a hardworking, confident, experienced youth manager, with long term professional experience in youth work, with innovative ideas and who take responsibility for the development of the targeted youth support, the outreach work, programme development, and strategic development with the engagement of the young adults as we grow the service.
We currently have two core developing services that focus on two principal areas:
Ø Social support/ peer/ community/ network/ supportive adult role models
Ø Education/entrepreneurship/empowerment/ professional network
1. The GFY, HUB, the Charity’s flagship programme. To create an environment of support for young adults who are ambitious but could be experiencing additional challenges while transitioning into adulthood and who need a network (the right support), and a home-away-from-home (a physical space to go to). When in full operation the HUB will run on Thursday – Sunday 4-9pm (between) and on weekdays (between) 3-9pm. Until we have an established HUB programme your working hours will be 9am to 5pm. These times are specific as other services are closed, and when the young people express feeling the most isolated. Includes the developing Youth Advisory Board (YAB)
2. The OWN IT PROGRAMME, powered by GF +, Own It is an outsourced employment, skills, and training programme for young care leavers, delivered in house. A mix of training ILM Level 3 Enterprise (accredited), product development (industry input), enterprise and entrepreneurship training, and work experience.
OUR CORE SERVICES
We are shaping these two relatively new initiatives, we are finding the right young people (where they are), pitching the initiative to them and service providers such as local authorities, leaving care teams and other key stakeholders.
We ongoingly continue to acknowledge gaps in support provision to young adults, [particularly care leavers] and subsequently create new programmes/ project offers designed by the Youth Advisory Board (YAB). With a mission to be the collective voice of students, members and alumni who are put to the forefront, with the purpose of developing offers led by them.
Job Purpose:
To support Go-Forward Youth in continuing to develop and deliver a Youth offer targeted at care experienced young people or those on the edge of care.
This is a relatively new role for the charity, now looking for maternity leave 12 month fixed term cover. This role is developed from a previous voluntary role of youth leader and most recently Youth Manager (December, 2023).
Our growing core services to date:
· Annual Christmas in Partnership with Arsenal and Islington Borough Council, usually lead at the Arsenal hub,
· HUB ‘Home-Away-From-Home’ or ‘The space’ (piloted 2019, 2020)
· Education and training support provision. Own It Programme, led by GF +
We have created this role to develop our youth service offer and the management of our service offer, while considering what is needed to grow required in house youth delivery team. It is key in this role to identify the institutions and organisations that we have a shared goal and client group (care leavers, young people) and develop partnerships for collaboration and referrals. The home-away-from-home needs to be fulfilling a crucial gap for care experienced young people, in terms of social support, network, education and employment by listening to what members say they need to move forward. This means engaging the right young people, and acknowledging gaps in the youth provision and areas we can build on. We work to create an environment that comforts and supports, which is also about accountability, autonomy, empowerment, and aspiration. We are looking for a professional to be part of the team, an individual with long standing professional experience of youth work, that understands the challenges and vulnerabilities of care experience. The role includes, managing our Home-Away-From-Home; that supports young people on evenings, weekends, when other services are closed. It would have an element of packaging our offer with the support of the team, presenting, pitching to local authorities and funders.
A goal for this role is to sustain and grow the services and the delivery team across the next two years, by evaluating, piloting, and refining existing models and developing ideas and new regular projects. We are looking for individual that can support the charity to sustain existing models and engage members, by having a steady menu of activities, project, and opportunities on offer. It is expected that the youth manager will be the designated safeguarding officer, managing activities, risks on and offsite. With a focus on targeted youth engagement in the community, via outreach work, schools, virtual schools, leaving care teams, community links and stakeholders (As we have recently moved to Camden there are many more opportunities). Managing the operations of the day to day running of youth services in the Space and offsite. At present there is a small staff team leading the development and running a small number of weekday drop-in services and programme as we grow our offer in (a physical) space. We are looking for leadership and professional experience of being a Youth Manager, identifying gaps in the youth delivery team and managing a growing staff team including a new youth work role.
