We’re hiring for a number of key roles:

Youth Support Worker, Aungier St, Dublin 2, Belmayne, Dublin 13

We are seeking a passionate and committed Youth Support Worker to help deliver YMCA Dublin’s dynamic and strengths-based youth and mentoring services. This is an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people aged 12–19, supporting them to navigate challenges, build resilience, and thrive.

In this hands-on role, you will support the delivery of three core strands: one-to-one volunteer mentoring, in-school peer mentoring groups, and universal youth work. Working in close partnership with schools, families, and community services, you will champion trauma-informed, play-inspired approaches that foster connection, confidence, and personal growth.

These roles offer unique opportunities to work directly with young people, creating inclusive, empowering environments where they feel heard, supported, and inspired. These roles are ideally suited to dynamic, trauma-informed professionals who want to be part of something new and impactful in growing communities.
