Youth Worker

Youth workers run sessions, mentor one-to-one, and create the kind of safe-but-challenging spaces young people grow in. You'll work in schools, charities, faith settings or local authorities. The role suits people who listen well and don't try to fix everything immediately.

Many youth workers we've spoken to are themselves neurodivergent — and say it makes them better at spotting which young people are masking, struggling, or thriving.
