Youth Worker

A youth worker supports young people, usually aged between 11 and 25, to help them achieve their full potential. This can involve working with individuals or groups, organising activities, providing advice and guidance, and helping young people with issues such as education, employment, relationships, or mental health. Youth workers can be based in youth centres, schools, charities, or local councils, and often collaborate with other professionals to provide the best possible support. The role can be challenging but is highly rewarding for those who enjoy making a positive difference in young people’s lives.
