Adventure Play and Youth Workers

12.5 hours £13.04 per hour (full-time salary equivalent £23,733-25,839)

Centre-based role primarily based in Moss Side and Ardwick

Do you have the right mix of creativity, passion for working with children, and commitment to making a real difference? 

We are recruiting an Adventure Play & Youth Worker at Manchester Young Lives to provide open access and targeted play and youth work activities. Our after-school adventure play provision is Ofsted registered and provides activities for 6–13-year-olds. Our youth provision engages with young people aged 11+ after school and during the evenings.

Our work enables often disadvantaged children and young people the opportunity to learn, develop, and connect with their communities, build safe and supportive relationships with committed workers, and let off steam on our adventure playgrounds.

If you can build relationships with children and young people, have fun and supportive conversations, we would love to hear from you.

Play and Youth Workers are based at Manchester Young Lives Adventure Playgrounds and Centres in Wythenshawe, Ardwick, and Moss Side. Play sessions run 3.45-6.15 pm, and youth sessions 6.30-8.45 pm. Roles can work alongside a main job, education, and/or personal commitments.
