Well Wave Youth Worker (Sexual Health & Wellbeing)

GIPSIL is seeking a motivated and passionate Well Wave Youth Worker to deliver specialist sexual health and wellbeing support for young people aged 13–24 years across the city. Working as part of a dedicated Well Wave team, the postholder will focus on engaging and supporting those young people who are most at risk, least well-supported, marginalised, or seldom seen by traditional services.

The role will be dedicated to delivering and promoting Well Wave services and will not be restricted by fixed locations or caseloads. The successful candidate will develop and deliver flexible, accessible, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive outreach in communities throughout the city, ensuring that young people can access support in places where they feel safe, welcome, and comfortable.

The role will involve building trusted relationships, delivering sexual health information and support, promoting positive wellbeing, reducing health inequalities, and enabling young people to access the services they need to achieve positive outcomes.

This role is being recruited alongside a parallel post with our partner organisation, Barca. One successful candidate will be appointed by each organisation, and both postholders will work together as part of the wider Well Wave team supporting young people across the city.
