  The ideal candidate will have experience of managing people and projects and will be passionate about promoting the interests of vulnerable young people, facilitating participation opportunities and creating inclusive environments.


You will be experienced in working with young people, including delivering activities to support emotional and social wellbeing. You may not be a senior youth worker right now but your background and experience will have provided you with transferrable skills.

Ideally you will have a level 3 qualification (or above) in a relevant subject but if you don't, we will support you to achieve an NVQ level 3 in youth work alongside the role. We will also support your development as a manager through our successful leadership and management programme.

About MAP

We are advisers, counsellors, youth workers and other professionals working together to provide the best support we can to young people aged 11-25, in a way that works for them.

At MAP we work for social justice. We are an inclusive workplace, welcoming everybody to bring their authentic whole selves to work every day. Upholding equality at MAP is not only about eliminating discrimination; it is about actively recognising and valuing difference; making the most of everyone's potential.

MAP have been awarded some new funding for community youth work and are looking to build a team of youth workers and senior youth workers to run this project and successfully deliver outcomes for young people. This team will be a part of our fully established and experienced youth work services team that run a range of projects and activities for young people across Norfolk and Waveney.

We are interested in hearing from you if you have worked with young people in a similar field to youth work for example:

• Education


• Youth development


• Arts or sports development


• Community work


• Support Work


• Training or facilitation


What is youth work?

Youth work is an important part of young people's informal education. Through mentoring, group work, campaigns and activities youth workers support young people to learn social and emotional skills, have a say over what is important to them, and grow in confidence to be the person they want to be., For our most recent recruitment exercises we have used CBR Business Solutions' services. We have found the service to be excellent value for money, effective and efficient. CBR staff were quick to provide assistance when it was needed.
