Better Red!

There is a unique opportunity for young people in Redbridge to help their community in 2021.

Redbridge CVS would like your help to reach young people with lived experience of the issues young people face.  They are seeking help to find a diverse range of young people from a range of backgrounds, including those with lived experience of some of the issues young people face.

Redbridge Young Advisors are young people aged 15-24, who work with community leaders to help them better engage young people in community life, local decision making and improving services. Through their work, Young Advisors bring unique expertise and knowledge about being young to influence change and find solutions to local issues. The Young Advisors will work with professionals to improve opportunities and services, and co-design new ones to meet the needs and aspirations of local young people.

Redbridge Young Advisors will be employed, trained and managed by RedbridgeCVS on a sessional basis, and are paid a wage of £10.75 per hour. The job is very flexible and will fit around their lifestyle as far as possible (e.g. school, college and part-time work commitments).

Meetings will be held in evenings or weekends and they will work no more than 12 hours per week.

The closing date for applications is midnight on Sunday 10th January 2021. Interviews are expected to take place from Friday 15th January 2021. More info here: https://www.redbridgecvs.net/jobs/young-advisors-redbridgecvs
