Have you got what it takes to work with young people?

Would you like to talk about becoming a part-time youth worker, in either a paid or voluntary capacity?
You don't need qualifications. However, a sense of humour and a genuine liking for young people are essential - we can help do the rest.
Leicestershire Youth Service provides a range of opportunities for young people aged between 13-19.
Youth clubs and activities operate in colleges, centres, village halls and a range of other venues where young people gather.
