Specialist Youth Workers
Connected Communities Specialist Youth Workers will work in partnership with local schools, supporting young people to access learning and development opportunities across a range of contexts. Primarily, we will work with young people from P6 to S3, however the specific needs of a community will determine the work we undertake and the upper age range of our involvement.
