As Ofsted requires us to refer to young people/youth as ‘children’, our official Job Title reflects that. However, as our young people are aged up to 18, the term ‘youth’ describes them more fittingly.

We are looking for dynamic youth mentors who have a desire to engage, guide and bring a positive influence in the lives of the young people in our care.
