About the Role

The NHS Cadets Project aims to attract and develop young people, preparing them to sustain themselves in health volunteering opportunities. Through a 36 week programme, we will be helping young people to not only gain new skills and knowledge but to get hands on experience in the NHS.

We aim to specifically widen access for 14 to 18-year-olds who come from groups which have not traditionally entered health volunteering, such as marginalised young people, those in care, NEET or from BAME backgrounds. These are split into two age programmes; 14 - 16 Foundation and 16 - 18 Advanced.

As Youth Support Worker, you will assist with planning and delivering the NHS Cadets programme to young people and you’ll help create a safe, inclusive and open environment where young people can learn important life skills to prepare them for health volunteering.

We aim to deliver the programme face to face, however some virtual delivery maybe required for a blended approach.
