Take a Virtual TourAs a large youth work provider in Cumbria, Carlisle Youth Zone’s Youth Service Manager roles are busy, varied and highly rewarding. With a current membership of 3,000 young people and a youth offer that includes 7 universal Youth Clubs a week, a programme of projects such as Youth Co-research, Young Leaders and DofE, and a targeted youth engagement programme that includes Mentoring, LGBTQ+, Girls Work and Young Carers, the team is looking for someone who can embrace the art of youth work! This means balancing spontaneity with organisation, high energy with order, fresh ideas with consistency, and big group work with a no child missed philosophy.
Given Carlisle Youth Zone’s size and our scale, their team structure allows for 3 Youth Service Managers, who together, have responsibility for ensuring the youth services as a whole are of the highest quality and anchored in what young people say they want and need. Within this collective goal, each Youth Service Manager has a focused portfolio of key responsibilities, flexed and agreed annually to align with organisational priorities. For this current vacancy, the team is particularly keen to hear from people who are energised by the potential of leading its programme of Youth Clubs and Projects from their amazing facility (Centre-based), and/or someone who is interested in progressing their Outreach and Partnership plans that will enhance the programme and expand the range of partners delivering with and/or from the amazing youth facility.
