Youth Participation and Support Worker

Youth Participation and Support Worker

The Youth Participation and Support Worker will work with care experienced young people subject to immigration controls, to tackle the injustice and inequity of the systems, policies and procedures that define their lives.

They will support young migrants to evaluate what they have learned through their experience of being in care and going through the immigration system so that young people are able to recognise the skills and strengths they have developed. They will support young people to engage with a range of opportunities to develop and use their learning, skills and strengths through our Young Community Leaders programme.
