Location: Galway City & County

Closing date: 3rd September

The aim of the Youth & Family Support Service is to support children, young people and their families who are experiencing difficulties at home or within the community.

The Youth & Family Support Worker will work as part of the wider Galway Youth and Family Support Services Team and PPFS structure. The target group for this service is primarily young people aged 10-18 and their families from across the Galway area.

The role arose out of a clearly identified need to respond in a comprehensive, holistic way to the needs of particular young people and their families who are experiencing adversities, in  particular those at level 2 and 3 of the Hardiker model. The role is centered around an experiential, resilience building programme designed to promote positive coping capacities and the maintenance of a sense of self in the face of stressful and difficult circumstances.
