Youth Sessional Worker

This is a zero-hours, “as required” position: you are offered work as and when sessions need additional support, and you choose the assignments you take on. We ask that you make yourself reasonably available and aim to attend a minimum number of events per term, subject to your availability and our operational needs.
Action For Carers (Surrey) Astolat, Guildford, Surrey, GU4 7HL

Do you enjoy working with children and young people?
Are you confident supporting group activities and helping young people feel included and valued?
Would you like a flexible role making a real difference to young carers across Surrey?

We are recruiting Sessional Workers who will primarily work with the Young Carers Engage & Connect Team, who provide free, needs-led support to young carers aged 5 to 16, giving them time out from their caring responsibilities through clubs, events, and activities.

We are looking for enthusiastic Sessional Workers to support our Event Leads in planning, delivering, and facilitating these activities. You’ll help lead games, icebreakers and club sessions, contribute ideas during planning, and take part in evaluating each session so we can keep improving what we offer young carers.

Sessions take place across the week – including evenings, weekends, and school holidays – so flexibility is an essential part of the role. This is a zero-hours, “as required” position: you are offered work as and when sessions need additional support, and you choose the assignments you take on. We ask that you make yourself reasonably available and aim to attend a minimum number of events per term, subject to your availability and our operational needs.

What we offer:

  • A competitive hourly rate plus uniform and mileage at 55p per mile
  • Full induction, ongoing training and regular supervision and support
  • The chance to make a real difference to the lives of young carers across Surrey

What we ask for:

  • Genuine interest in supporting children and young people
  • Flexibility to work across evenings, weekends, and school holidays
  • A commitment to safeguarding and the welfare of young people
  • Willingness to travel to venues across Surrey

All appointments are subject to satisfactory references, the right to work in the UK and an enhanced DBS check.
