News from Peterborough City Council

People can find out more about becoming fractional youth support workers for Peterborough City Council's young people's service at an open evening at the city council's Youth Access Point, Central Library, Broadway, Peterborough, on Tuesday 25 November 2008 between 5.30 pm and 7 pm.

 

People will be able to meet city council youth workers, who co-ordinate community-based youth projects in the city, and some of the young people with which they work.

 

Councillor Matthew Dalton, spokesman for young people, said: "The youth support workers will play a key role in the facilitation of community based youth work in local neighbourhoods. They will work with young people, building positive relationships and supporting them to engage in projects and activities regarding their personal and social development."

 

Cherry Lester, Peterborough City Council's manager of the young people's service north, west and rural locality team, said: "There are a range of posts available varying from six hours a week to 18 hours a week, either on a temporary or permanent basis. Applicants must also be willing to work in the evening and an NVQ in youth work is desirable."
