Responsible for staff: N/A

Hours: Full-time  (Average of 38 hours per week following a rota of  2 weeks on, 1 week off for a fixed term period of 15 weeks: 12/05/26 to 21/08/26)

Go Beyond breaks offer a chance for young people, 8 to 13 years old, to spend some quality time away from their normal challenging circumstances and the primary role of our Break Leaders is to offer support, guidance and motivation to ensure the best possible outcome for each young person.

Our Break Leaders provide positive, safe and relevant role models, while using the unique and special landscapes around our centres to provide memorable, social and fun experiences for young people, who sometimes just need a little time to build on their self-confidence and relationship skills. We run a range of our own activities but use external providers for the more adventurous activities such as rock climbing and watersports.

You will need a passion for working cooperatively with young people and an ability to engage and motivate to push through their fears and develop their sense of self-worth. The role is immersive and would suit someone already experienced in working with young people but wishing to work at a more impactful level. A great deal of our work is outside, so a love and knowledge of the outdoors would also be of great benefit.

Our breaks for up to 16 young people at time, run residentially Monday to Friday, with a rota system for staff, who normally work two weeks on, followed by a rest week. This role includes two overnight duties, within Monday to Thursday.

We use 9-seater vehicles at our centres and you must be over 21 years of age, held a full driving licence for at least a year and be willing to drive as part of the role. Passing a successful enhanced child workforce-based DBS check is also required and a current first aid certificate is also required.

Join our team and make a real difference to the life chances and outlook of young people who really need your support, experience and input.

Please note that we are not in a position to offer sponsorship to non-British applicants.

While there are some evening and overnight duties involved with this position, it is not a “live in” role.
