Youth Development Officer
Salary €39,367.79 per annum About SVP SVP is a large, national, voluntary organisation with extensive experience of working with a diverse range of people who experience poverty and exclusion. Through its network of volunteers and employees, it is strongly committed to working for social justice and advocates the creation of a more just and caring society. SVP is an equal opportunity employer committed to treating all individuals with dignity and respect. We are dedicated to protecting everyone we encounter from all forms of harm, abuse, neglect, and exploitation, in accordance with Irish equality legislation.

You are not required to take part. Purpose of the Role The purpose of this role is to promote and support the SVP Youth Development Programme in the Region through a range of engagement models, with a particular focus on supporting and developing Young SVP Conferences in schools and third-level institutions. The role also seeks to create greater awareness of the work of SVP and foster stronger support for the organisation by building meaningful links with schools and between schools and local Conferences.
