Are you motivated by supporting and helping vulnerable and at-risk young people?

This is an amazing opportunity to help change the lives of children and young people who are at-risk. This Aspiring Outreach Worker role is based in Redhill and will give you experience working with vulnerable students, increasing their engagement, attainment and life chances.
