We have a vision of a delivery model which provides flexible local delivery, covering Brockworth and Coopers Edge. This will be through a mixture of centre based sessions, outreach & detached youth work, information, advice and support and joint activities which may involve volunteers or the need to provide transport. There is a core team of six part time youth workers currently employed 0.6 FTE to deliver youth work in Brockworth and it is likely that there are TUPE requirements for these staff as part of any new contract. (please see separate staffing implications document)

The service will be designed and developed with involvement from young people as engagement and accessibility are key requirements for providing activities. It is envisaged that the service will continue to evolve over time (subject to regular feedback consultation and evaluation by users) to include formal training opportunities and holiday activities. The parish council will hold regular monitoring meetings with the appointed provider to discuss progress and to aid decision making. These will be in addition to formal SLA Performance Review meetings which will be conducted at half-year and yearly periods to ensure agreed target outcomes and outputs are reached.

To apply please read the tender documents and complete the tender application form and attach the requested supporting information.

Tenders must be submitted by noon on Friday 7th January 2022.
