Key information

Working as part of a dedicated Well Wave team, the postholder will focus on engaging and supporting those young people who are most at risk, least well-supported, marginalised, or seldom seen by traditional services.

About the role

The role will be dedicated to delivering and promoting Well Wave services and will not be restricted by fixed locations or caseloads. 

This role is being recruited alongside a parallel post with our partner organisation, Barca. One successful candidate will be appointed by each organisation, and both postholders will work together as part of the wider Well Wave team supporting young people across the city.

We are committed to FREDIE principles — Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement — in everything we do. We aim to reflect the communities we work in and welcome applicants from all backgrounds and life experiences. Language skills that help us connect with our communities — particularly Farsi, Kurdish, Tigrinya, Polish, Arabic, Romanian, Urdu, Punjabi or Portuguese — are a plus, though not essential.

We are a Disability Confident Employer and encourage applications from those who identify as disabled; if you need any reasonable adjustments during the process, please let us know when you apply.

Requirements

The successful candidate will develop and deliver flexible, accessible, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive outreach in communities throughout the city, ensuring that young people can access support in places where they feel safe, welcome, and comfortable.

The role will involve building trusted relationships, delivering sexual health information and support, promoting positive wellbeing, reducing health inequalities, and enabling young people to access the services they need to achieve positive outcomes.
