Coaching Jobs

Who are we?

London Gypsies and Travellers (LGT) is an organisation that challenges social exclusion and discrimination, working for change in partnership with Gypsy and Traveller people. We work with families across London Boroughs, including those living on council caravan sites, roadside camps, in bricks and mortar housing, and those experiencing homelessness. We are registered charity with offices in Dalston, London.

Our Bright Futures programme provides mentoring and support for skills development and employment for Gypsy and Traveller young people aged 16–25 years. We work directly with young people through tailored mentoring and consistent support to build motivation, confidence, and resilience.

What are we looking for?

We are seeking a male Youth Mentor with a passion for empowering young men to achieve their full potential.

As a Youth Mentor, you will play a pivotal role in guiding and supporting young men through their training and employment journeys. You will be a consistent, positive presence in their lives, offering advice, encouragement, and a patient listening ear to help them navigate challenges and build a brighter future.

Being a Bright Futures Youth Mentor involves:

• Building trust-based relationships with young male mentees by creating safe and supportive spaces to discuss concerns, goals and plans
• Providing 1:1 mentoring and support to mentees on navigating challenges and achieving aspirations
• Guiding mentees in exploring their interests and accessing training and employment opportunities
• Monitoring, recording, and reporting on mentees’ journeys and progress
• Supporting the programme team with group workshops and community engagement

What difference will a Bright Futures Youth Mentor make?

Young people from the Gypsy and Traveller community often face significant barriers to education, employment, and social inclusion. Many experience discrimination and stereotyping from a young age, leading to isolation, lost opportunities, and poorer mental and physical health outcomes. The social and cultural barriers make it difficult for young men to seek support. By providing a trusted male role model, you will play a key role in creating a space where young men feel safe, heard, and encouraged to develop their confidence and overcome challenges. You will equip them with the skills and knowledge they need to secure meaningful employment and a sense of purpose.

Why become a Bright Futures Youth Mentor?

Along with the satisfaction of making a lasting difference in young people's lives, our Youth Mentors also receive:

• Induction and training suited to the role of mentoring young Gypsy & Traveller people
• Regular meetings with and support from the programme team
• Opportunities to share experiences through interactions with other mentors, the wider organisation, and community members
• Valuable experience in developing your support and mentoring skills with vulnerable young people
• Professional growth via community engagement, training, and development opportunities
• Reimbursement of reasonable expenses

We are keen to hear from people with different backgrounds and experiences, including the Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller (GRT) community, as long as you are open and committed to learning and working sensitively with disadvantaged young people.

As this role is focused on mentoring and supporting young men, we are seeking male candidates. This is considered a Genuine Occupational Requirement under Schedule 9, Paragraph 1 of the Equality Act 2010.

To Apply, please look through the job description and follow the application instructions below.
