Big monies in Cornwall?

i would of said £15 is lot but im 18 and have no job so £6 an hour is alot to me

Being a youth worker myself, I note with irony that they pay £15 but for no more than a few hours per week.

Thus, unless you already have another job, how can you afford to live off this!

-:sigh:-

I saw a few posts advertised recently (not by this organisation I might add), that were for 3 hours per week.. One can earn more working in a supermarket

Youth work in britain sucks pum

People who are in that line of work are not in it for the money imo.

I would be interested in doing something like that part for fun tbh.

i think his point was that if you don't have another job, you can't afford to live off the money from this, but if you do have another job, then you probably don't have time to volunteer flexible hours every week... bit of a vicious circle

Hit the nail on the head spot on mate.

If you want quality youth workers, then they need to be trained. Trained youth workers have a right to be paid a professional living wage inline with similar professions, ie, teaching.

What vexxes me immensly are the amount of £40,000pa management jobs going within the sector, yet most projects are under staffed.

Is it that difficult to pay two people £20,000pa fulltime or four people £10,000 pa part time? Even at £10,000, because it's only part time that leaves people the opportunity to work in another job.
