Job Description
Please note this is not a Bath & North East Somerset Council Vacancy.
Off the Record Bath & North East Somerset (OTR) is a mental health and wellbeing charity that gives local young people a safe space to be heard and be themselves. We provide a range of free services for young people, including counselling, listening support, youth participation, advocacy, support for care leavers and a LGBTQ+ focused youth group.
As our Engagement Lead, you will work with the Head of Wellbeing to review, evolve and drive forward the way we bring young people into our services at OTR.
Alongside your team you will proactively engage young people with the work we do. You will have a particular focus on young people who are underserved by support organisations and, in line with our strategy, will be tasked with finding ways to reduce the barriers some young people face to accessing our support.
You will manage and inspire a team of Listening Support Workers, Youth Workers and our Wellbeing Co-ordinator to deliver quality, timely and relevant work for the young people we serve. Under your management the team will forge excellent working relationships with partner organisations across the BaNES area, working in joined-up ways that ensure young people are supported to access the right support for them when they need it.
Working alongside our Lead Counsellors, you will develop OTR’s assessment processes, ensuring that young people are being offered appropriate services for their needs and that staff are well prepared to work with the people they support.
