The YEI Youth Engagement Workers will be part of a team, working closely with the YEI Transition Advisers and Progression Workers. They will deliver high quality effective youth work which recognises young people’s involvement and achievements and which promotes young people’s personal, social and emotional development. This will include open access youth work and targeted youth support.
