Some young people just need one adult who refuses to give up on them. That could be you.


Havering & Epping | Fixed-term, 2 years (with real opportunities to progress) | Starts September | Closing date: 31 July



Youth Mentor to be that steady, trusted presence: someone with a genuine passion for young people, the creativity to think outside the box, and the resilience to keep showing up when things get hard.



This isn't a desk job, and it isn't one-size-fits-all. You'll be out in the community, building real relationships, guiding a caseload of young people through the moments that matter most and helping shape the mentors coming up behind you.



What you'll do



  • Build trusting, consistent relationships with vulnerable young people across Havering and Epping


Deliver one-to-one, and group work, meeting each young person exactly where they are


Help young people set goals, build confidence and break through the barriers in their way


Think creatively to reach young people others find hard to engage


Coach and develop junior mentors and volunteers, raising the standard across the team


Work alongside families, schools and local partners to wrap support around each young person


Keep accurate, confidential data and records, using our case management system to log your work and contribute to reviews and reporting


Champion safeguarding in everything you do




What we're looking for



  • A genuine passion for working with young people the one thing we can't teach


The creativity to think outside the box and find what works for each individual


Experience of supporting vulnerable young people, with a trauma-informed approach


Warmth, resilience and sound judgement under pressure


Strong communication and the independence to manage your own time across sites


Computer literate and confident using Microsoft Word, Excel and case management systems to keep accurate data and records


A commitment to safeguarding and equal opportunities


A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle — essential, as you'll travel regularly between Havering and Epping


A relevant qualification (e.g. Level 3 in Youth Work) is welcome, but attitude and experience matter most




What we offer



  • A meaningful role where you'll see the difference you make


A 2-year contract with genuine opportunities to progress


Above-average rates of pay we value what you do and reward it fairly


Extensive training and ongoing professional development


Uniform provided and expenses covered, including [travel / mileage]


A supportive, values-driven team that truly changes lives
