Senior Practitioner Youth Services - DSN (Deaf & Sensory Network)

DSN are looking to recruit a Senior Practitioner to work alongside their Youth Worker and team of sessional Youth Support Workers on this programme. The core delivery areas for young deaf people will be youth sessions, holiday activities, youth council sessions and young leaders’ programme for 8 – 18 year olds. And as part of this project they will also be able to offer sessions to their older groups – those aged 19 – 25.

The Senior Practitioner will have experience in:

• Working in the youth sector
• Managing projects
• Working as part of a team and managing others

And they need someone who:

• has great communication skills
• is approachable and professional
• can work independently in a demanding and rewarding role.

This role will include ensuring that the needs of deaf young people are at the heart of the project, and that young people experience positive differences and outcomes, including increased confidence and independence. The job is for a 3-year fixed term with travel across Cheshire West and Chester, Cheshire East and Warrington so the use of a car is essential.
