Main duties of the job

Adolescence can be a complex time to navigate, and for young people accessing specialist healthcare this can be further shaped by disruption to education, independence, emotional wellbeing, peer relationships and confidence in managing their own care. Without the right support, young people may find it harder to engage with services, express their views and prepare for adulthood. We have an exciting opportunity to further develop youth work at Great Ormond Street Hospital by introducing a Youth Worker to the team. The post holder will work alongside colleagues across the Play and Youth Services department and the wider multidisciplinary team to provide holistic, targeted and individualised support to young people with a range of needs and experiences. The aim of this post is to help create opportunities for young people to build confidence, develop knowledge and skills, strengthen their voice in care, and improve their experience of hospital services as they move through adolescence and towards adulthood.
