Airplay is a national youth work programme delivered on behalf of the RAF Benevolent Fund (RAFBF) at RAF Stations across the UK. Airplay Clubs are for children and young people aged from 5 to 18 and deliver regular weekly sessions and holiday activities. We are looking for people to join our thriving project at RAF Cosford as Sessional Youth Workers.
Hours and pay:Thursday 3.45pm - 8.45pm. This amounts to 5 hours per week in total over 1 evening. These are the regular term time delivery hours. £3,198.00 per year, (Pro rata £23,985) which equates to £12.30 per hour.
Working times may change in holiday periods to cover activity programmes so some flexibility would be useful as would the ability to do overtime during holidays for any activity days, trips or events. Any timings of hours and/or overtime would be agreed in partnership with your line manager.
Please don’t delay applying, since we may consider applications on a rolling basis. We are also keen to hear from you if you would only be able to work some of these times or one of the evenings required as we have several sessional positions available.

One YMCA and its subsidiaries, the Early Childhood Partnership (ECP) and Signpost are on an exciting journey to double our impact by 2025. We are over half way through an exciting new strategy launched in the first hour of the new decade, via email where all staff and volunteers were invited to put themselves forward to apply and attend an intensive, three-day Kickstarter Event.
By the end of these three days, there was a brilliantly multi-faceted set of themes and ideas, which formed the starting point for the rest of the Mission 25 process to build on. The aim of Mission 25 is to give every staff member and volunteer the opportunity to play their part in shaping the strategy to do “more and better, together” so that we double our impact by 2025. We deliver a vast array of services across Herts, Beds and Bucks that reach over 135,000 individuals annually.

These include:

• Provision of over 700 units of accommodation for homeless people
• Move on accommodation for individuals moving onto independent living
• Housing and practical/emotional support for young asylum seekers
• Community HUBs hosting a range of activities and meeting space hire
• Childcare provision in Hertfordshire
• Family support through a network of children’s and family centres covering Hertfordshire and Bedford
• Therapeutic and non-therapeutic support for male and female victims of domestic abuse and their children
• Independent sexual violence services across Bedfordshire, Luton and Hertfordshire
• Domestic abuse perpetrator reform programmes across Bedfordshire
• Youth services offering emotional wellbeing support and youth club opportunities for 11-19 year olds alongside our National Airplay programme funded by the RAF Benevolent Fund
• A community gym where everyone can enjoy the benefits of physical exercise Our values remain at the forefront of how we operate as a charity, and it is important to us that all staff and volunteers can fully buy in to our ethos.
