They will take responsibility for most of the practical programmes ran by Youth Alive Trust and be able to lead clubs, large events and holiday programmes themselves. They will have good organisational skills, administration skills and be willing to get their hands dirty. They will also take a key role in future projects, including the development of a youth centre. Salary $37,000 – $42,000 depending on experience.

2) The Male Mentor will work with Primary school aged boys, aged 5 – 13, in the local schools and community. They will be self motivated, able to work independently, and professionally in a school environment. They will plan and administer to the needs of the school, including work 1-on-1, and in small groups and joining general school activities. They will have great patience, empathy and have the ability to build good rapport with these ‘at risk’ boys. They will have good organisational skills, administration skills and be willing to join in other general Youth Alive Trust activities and events. Salary $35,000 – $37,500 depending on experience.

Both of these roles will require work outside of office hours, and must be willing to work evenings and weekends when required. There is a degree of flexibility for the right applicant, therefore we’re open to working around your situation.

They will be based at our offices at Grace Vineyard Beach Campus in New Brighton. The successful applicants will be viewed as church leadership, and will attend church staff meetings, trainings and events.
