Belvedere Youth Club: Youth Work Assistant


APPLICATIONS ARE INVITED FOR THE FOLLOWING POSITION

YOUTH WORK ASSISTANT **APPLY ON THE WEBSITE** HOURS

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dynamic, energetic and
enthusiastic person to join the Youth Work Team at Belvedere Youth
Club CLG (BYC). We have an immediate vacancy for a Youth Work
Assistant based in Dublin 1.

ABOUT BELVEDERE YOUTH CLUB

BYC is a youth service based in the North East Inner City (NEIC) of
Dublin which has been working with young people in this community
since **Apply on the website**. Staffed by a team of specialists and
professional youth work teams, BYC provides a range of services and
supports to our young people, including a drop in service, an
extensive after school programme, a targeted youth work programme, a
Summer residential programme, educational supports, evening and night
time activity based programmes, all delivered by our team of
professional youth workers & youth work assistants.

Dublin?s North East Inner City has been one of the most
disadvantaged and marginalised communities not just in Dublin, but
nationally. Study after study has highlighted the impact of this
social disadvantage. The community ? and the young people with whom
BYC works - are affected by high levels of unemployment, exposure to
street level drug and alcohol misuse, poor health and associated
health outcomes and a lack of access to structured social and leisure
activities. Young people have been particularly affected by recent
years of austerity cuts, compounding historically low levels of
educational attainment and progression.

BYC?s aim is to provide a comprehensive youth service to young
people in the NEIC.

In that context, BYC teams work together to implement a model that
allows for universal programmes (after school and week day evening
programmes), complemented by more targeted youth work interventions.
This delivery model has been developed with the aim of engaging our
young people from the ages of **Apply on the website** years. Through
this contact time, young people are identified and supported to
participate in more structured strands of youth work including in the
following programme areas:

* Informal Educational Support
* Issued Based Programmes
* Gaisce Awards
* Sports Inclusion
* Outdoor Activities
* Arts & Crafts
* Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Media
* Music, Drama and Youth Theatre

In addition to the above BYC also has its own dedicated outreach team
to engage our harder to reach young people.
