Job Title : Group Facilitator- CashBack Connections Project
Hours : Part-time, 5 to 10 hours weekly (daytime and evening groups available)
Salary : £13.45 per hour (Real Living Wage)
Location : Community venues across North and South Lanarkshire
Closing Date : 2nd October 2026

Role

CashBack Connections supports young people from across North and South Lanarkshire aged 10-16, who are at risk of involvement in antisocial behaviour and/ or offending. We will be providing 5 groups based in different locations across North and South Lanarkshire and where required will offer additional 1-1 support for the young people.

The Groups aim to encourage and empower young people to identify positive pathways of their choosing by providing activities that focus on both social and practical life skills, including:

• Creative workshops: arts, crafts, music, and drama that allow participants to express themselves creatively and build confidence.
• Life skills workshops: age-appropriate activities that foster self-sufficiency and resilience.
• Physical activities: to promote wellbeing and improve physical health.
• Community outings: activities chosen to enhance social skills and provide experiences that may otherwise be inaccessible.

The Group Facilitators will help co-design the calendar of activities in collaboration with the young people to ensure their ideas and voices are the focus and drive for each session. You will be a positive role model supporting the children and young people to actively engage with the activity, feel safe and respected and build meaningful peer relationships. As a result we are aspiring to reduce the risk of antisocial behaviour/offending and help the young people to realise their full potential.

You will have a supportive team of volunteers that will look to you for support and guidance. You will work collaboratively with the Project Coordinators to ensure all activities are risk assessed and children and young people at risk are supported in line with our Child Protection and Safeguarding polices, creating individualised, robust support plans.

We are looking for people who are enthusiastic, empathetic and inspiring to join our team and lived experience is desired.
