Our Youthbuild Project enables young people aged 16-24 from the most disadvantaged communities to turn their lives around and gain very real opportunities to enter the construction industry, and the world of work as a whole. It’s a vital, exciting initiative and we need caring, skilled people to join us and drive the continuing success of Youthbuild. Give us your time and energy, and look forward to a rewarding career where you can really see young lives being changed for the better.

This role is based within our challenge projects; a 6-8 week programme aimed at young people who need early interventions to the world of work to allow them to gain the experience, work ethic and confidence to access further training opportunities. You’ll link in with existing projects that support various initiatives including environmental improvements, community clean-ups, sport and drama.

With a knowledge of the construction industry, you’ll bring planning, quantity surveying or design experience in landscaping, building, groundworks/environmental improvements, together with the ability to work with vulnerable young people who need support and motivation. This role is flexible across Glasgow, Edinburgh & East Ayrshire.

Time is the best thing we can give to the children we help – so use yours to help them.
