RSPB England has an exciting opportunity for a Youth Project Officer to lead the development and delivery of an exciting part of our Naturally Connected Communities Project (Birmingham), a Green Recovery Challenge funded initiative. The programme will be delivered in partnership with the Prince's Trust to engage diverse communities of young people with nature who are not currently in Employment Education or Training (NEET). As Youth Project Officer you will plan, promote, and deliver two 'Get Started' in Conservation programmes based primarily at our Sandwell Valley nature reserve in Birmingham. Youth Project Officer/Outdoor Instructor - The Prince's Trust - 'Get Started'.

'Get Started' goes far beyond teaching young people new skills. Throughout every programme the Prince's Trust weave a real and meaningful group challenge - one that young people are unlikely to achieve without their support. At the end of the programme, young people will have had a taste of what success feels like. From this point onwards the aim is to harness that feeling of success and continue to provide ongoing support to enable young people to move onto a positive outcome. There are over 30 different themes of 'Get Started' programme and through our recent partnership working we have developed a 'Get Started' programme themed around conservation which is aimed at giving young people a taster of several different aspects of the conservation sector - from hands-on conservation work to discovering nature and the challenges it faces, along with confidence building activities based around bushcraft and survival in the outdoors. We have already delivered one very successful 'Get Started' programme on our nature reserve in the New Forest and are now planning to deliver two more at our Sandwell Valley nature reserve in Birmingham. What's the role about You will lead on the delivery of two Prince's Trust 'Get Started' programmes at our Sandwell Valley RSPB nature reserve. Each programme lasts five days with an additional one day taster day the week before the programme and a reunion/celebration day within two weeks after the programme ends. The programmes will be delivered at the end of March and July 2022. What we need from you You will be responsible for working with the Prince's Trust, supporting them in the recruitment and promotion of the project. You will manage all aspects of the project from planning through to delivery, as well as monitoring, evaluating, and reporting impact. You will liaise with both the reserve staff and the Prince's Trust team ensuring everything is planned to create a seamless project that delivers all required outcomes. This role is a real opportunity to inspire young people to want to take action to help nature so it's important for you to have a good understanding of the challenges nature faces and can ensure our conservation message runs as the golden thread throughout the programme. The role will also require you to have skills and knowledge in delivering bushcraft and survival to young people such as shelter building, fire making as well as outdoor cooking. You will be able to work independently and as part of a team and you will have some leadership experience as well as excellent communication skills.
