Search jobsWhat the work can involve
Work often happens in youth centres, schools, outreach settings or digital channels where young people ask about education, wellbeing, activities, rights or practical services. The role combines listening, clear information, referral and activities that make services easier to use.
Skills and specializations
Important skills include identifying information needs, youth-centred communication, privacy, media literacy, outreach and cooperation with professionals in other services. Some roles focus more on digital content, project coordination or non-formal learning activities.
Salary context
Pay is usually influenced by service responsibility, case complexity, evening or outreach work, digital-service ownership, team coordination and whether the role includes staff training or project management.
Career paths
Development can lead toward youth service coordination, project management, outreach leadership, digital information work, counselling specialisation or management of a youth centre or information service.
Good to know
Check whether a vacancy describes the target age group, channels, topics, partner services and reporting duties. A clear role separates youth information work from entertainment, classroom teaching or general social administration.
