  • Support participants to feel confident and included, respecting different needs and abilities.
  • Complete basic admin after each session (e.g. logging attendance, short notes/evaluations).
  • Report safeguarding concerns in line with our policies.

Person Specification

Essential:

  • Experience working with children or young people in youth work, education, or community settings.
  • Confidence in using and moderating online platforms (Minecraft, Roblox, Discord, Zoom, etc.).
  • A positive, patient, and inclusive approach to supporting neurodivergent children and young people.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to engage with groups online.
  • Willingness to complete safeguarding training and hold (or be willing to obtain) an enhanced DBS.
  • Personal or professional experience with neurodiversity.


Desirable:

  • Skills in digital creativity (e.g. coding, game design, music, video) that could enhance sessions.

What We Offer

  • The chance to make a real difference for young people who may not feel comfortable in mainstream settings.
  • Ongoing training and safeguarding support.
  • A flexible, session-based role that can fit around other commitments.
