The Role

As an SSF Youth Development Coordinator, you will be responsible for developing, coordinating, and delivering high-quality physical activity, personal development, youth work, and youth leadership programmes for children and young people in a designated geographic location. You will have experience of using sport as a tool to engage young people and experience of designing and delivering programmes that are person-centered and combine youth work and physical activity.  

You may be responsible for leading and delivering across 2 of these 3 programmes:

  • Developing the SSF Twilight Multi-Sport session in the area, engaging and offering more young people from the local communities an opportunity to participate in sport & physical activity in a safe, inclusive and encouraging environment. Work with local key agencies to establish and strengthen relationships that will support the development of the weekly session. 
  • Designing a 24-week personal development programme, SSF Chance:2:Be. SSF Chance:2:Be is a 24-week intensive personal development programme that offers a safe environment for young people who may be finding it difficult to remain in education. It provides them with an opportunity to access group and 1-2-1 support, engage in personal development workshops, set goals, and complete accessible training and accreditations. 
  • Working with a group of SSF Young Leaders to empower young people to take on leadership roles and become positive role models in Fife with the goal of young people leading their own provision in the community. Young people will be provided with opportunities to learn new skills and gain formal qualifications through sport and physical activity and put these into practice. We are looking for individuals who are positive, empowering and want to use the power of sport and youth work to make a difference for young people in Scotland.
