About the role
Join The Challenge, the UK’s longest-standing provider of NCS, this summer as a Pastoral Care Lead and oversee behaviour management and inclusion on our summer youth social action programme.
NCS (National Citizen Service) is a government-backed initiative with a mission to equip 15-17 year olds with the confidence, skills and support they need to make a real difference in their local communities.
The Pastoral Care Lead works throughout the two residential phases of the programme, providing floating support to Team Mentors, helping them to develop their behaviour management strategies, and working closely with select young people with identified behavioural and/or emotional needs.
Other responsibilities include:
- Work with the Youth Programme Leader to manage challenging behaviour and appropriately report incidents.
- Promote the inclusion and engagement of all young people, working closely with young people with behavioural, emotional and/or physical needs in particular.
Person specification
An ideal Pastoral Care Lead candidate would have:
- Extensive experience of working with young people, including those who exhibit challenging behaviour & learning difficulties
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, adapting working style to different groups and teams
- Ability to motivate groups of people in stressful environments
- Ability to understand and follow safeguarding and Health & Safety guidelines, alongside other organisational policies and procedures
- Experience of working in a residential environment
This fully residential role is perfect for someone with significant experience of working with young people, knowledge of supporting people with additional needs, and experience of managing challenging behaviour.
The Challenge is committed to safeguarding children and young people. All post holders are subject to appropriate vetting procedures and a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service check
Company
The Challenge is the UK's leading charity for building a more integrated society. Our mission is to design and deliver programmes that bring different people together to develop their confidence and skills in understanding and connecting with others.
Over the last fifty years, the UK has become much more diverse by age, ethnicity and income. But despite our growing diversity, many of us spend relatively little time with people from different walks of life.
The Challenge is the largest provider of National Citizen Service (NCS), a life-changing initiative that brings together 15 to 17 year olds from different backgrounds. It aims to build their confidence, and to inspire and challenge them to make a difference in their local community. In summer 2016, over 38,000 young people across London, Surrey, Berkshire, the West Midlands, Yorkshire and the North West took part in NCS The Challenge for an intensive three to four-week summer programme.
The programme provides young people with the opportunity to complete personal and team challenges, meet new people and give something back to their communities.
NCS promotes:
● A more cohesive society by mixing participants from different backgrounds;
● A more responsible society by supporting young people’s transition into adulthood;
● A more engaged society by enabling young people to work together to create social action projects in their local communities.
This is achieved through the programme by completing three challenges:
NCS Personal Challenge: Socially mixed teams of young people bond through a week of challenging outdoor activities.
NCS Team Challenge: Teams return home and use their skills to experience serving the local community.
NCS Real Challenge Design: Teams design a social action project to roll out in their local communities. NCS Real Challenge Action: The young people take their social action projects to the streets and campaign with the general public.
By taking part, young people learn new skills and have a great experience that can be referenced in their CVs or in further education applications and all young people who complete NCS The Challenge graduate from our programme and are signposted into year-round volunteering, membership and social engagement opportunities through The Challenge.
The Challenge are looking to employ over 4,500 people to work on this year’s NCS programme. We have a range of roles that are suitable to people of all abilities and experiences. For more information or to apply, visit ncsthechallenge.org/jobs
