Gallos Children & Youth Lead

Purpose of post:

We are looking for an experienced and passionate individual to manage “Gallos”, our children and young people team. The Gallos Lead will be responsible for leading day to day operations, planning 1:1 and group work, whilst, critically, being hands on – you will be delivering face to face work alongside the team, for at least 70% of your time.  As Gallos Lead, the post holder will be supervising, supporting and coaching our dynamic small team and liaising with freelances (where relevant). Working closely with the SMT you will be able to plan and lead our children and youth delivery, in line with the evolving needs of the children, young people and families we work with – whilst encompassing organisational priorities.

Trelya is creative and innovative in our approach – and our Gallos work reflects this, the post holder will ensure we are providing a varied programme of arts, music, sports and life skills – whilst also maintaining the tailored, holistic approach which develops emotional wellbeing, community connectivity, safer behaviours and self-belief. Our children, young people and families are bursting with hidden talents, dreams, and possibilities – and the post holder will ensure the Gallos programme provides opportunities and support for these to be discovered and nurtured.

The Gallos Team deliver a wide variety of sessions which are creative, fun and enriching whilst offering opportunity for informal education and self-development. This is a high energy team and the post holder will be expected to bring enthusiasm and flexibility with a desire to deliver the best possible intervention to our young people and families.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an award winning innovative charity, which is leading the way in addressing social exclusion amongst children, young people and their families.
