Hours: 30-40 hours per week (dependent on successful applicant)
Contract: 12 Month Fixed Term Contract
Salary: Grade D – £30,806 FTE
Location: Oasis Space South Grimsby, with delivery across education and community settings in Grimsby

Want to inspire young people through practical learning and youth work?

Want to help young people develop confidence, resilience and life skills?

Want to lead an exciting community project that combines youth development, sustainability and education?

At Oasis, our vision is for community: a place where everyone is included, making a contribution and reaching their God-given potential.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and committed Youth and Community Lead to develop and deliver high-quality youth and community work across South Grimsby. This exciting role will lead the development of the Bike Barn Project , using bike maintenance and practical learning as a powerful tool to engage young people, build confidence, improve wellbeing and create positive pathways into education, employment and training.

Working alongside schools, families, community partners and Oasis colleagues, you will help young people overcome barriers, build aspirations and access the support they need to thrive. While an interest in cycling and practical learning is important, you do not need to be a qualified bike mechanic. Oasis will provide funded training and ongoing support to develop the technical skills required for the role.

• Support young people to develop leadership skills, volunteer opportunities and positive progression routes.
• Build strong relationships with families and make appropriate referrals to wider support services when needed.
• Promote environmental sustainability through bike refurbishment, reuse and recycling initiatives.
• Oversee project budgets, resources, tools and equipment.
• Identify funding opportunities and contribute to successful grant applications and reporting.
• Ensure all safeguarding, health and safety, risk assessment and data recording requirements are met.
• Be a visible and positive presence within the South Grimsby community and actively promote the Oasis ethos.

The Successful Candidate Will Have

• A commitment to inclusion, equality, hope, perseverance and the Oasis ethos.

As Part of the Package, Oasis Offers

• A pension scheme with a 7% employer contribution.
• A generous holiday allowance, starting at 25 days per year plus 8 Bank Holidays.
• Oasis-funded training, including youth work and bike mechanic qualifications where required.
