The Vale Youth Service is recruiting two Youth Pathways Mentors to support the delivery of the Vale Youth Apprenticeship Pathway (VYAP), a new multi-stage school-to-apprenticeship model for learners aged 14–18. Working under the supervision of the Senior Youth Engagement Worker, Strive, you will hold a caseload of young people aged 14–16 accessing pre-16 junior apprenticeship, supported work placement and employability pathways. You will provide relationship-based youth mentoring to help young people prepare for, access and sustain safe, meaningful work placement experiences, and support them to plan positive progression into post-16 education, training or employment.
Each post is 37 hours per week, 52 weeks per year, on a temporary basis. There are 2 posts available.
You will be given the opportunity to build a meaningful career pathway with our training programme, including support to undertake relevant youth work, mentoring and employability qualifications in post.

This service is managed by the Vale Youth Service and is situated in the Learning and Skills department.
The successful candidate will receive comprehensive CPD opportunities, development of new skills across youth work, mentoring, employability and progression practice, and will be part of a dynamic team that creates positive influences within the local community and makes a difference to young people’s lives. Candidates will be eligible to join the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS).
