Description

Are you great at sports?  Maybe you want to be an artist?  An actor?  Or a music teacher?  If you have a passion for doing what you love, we want to hear from you.  Whether that is dance, drama, sports, arts, music, cooking or anything else.  

ECYPS are looking for enthusiastic individuals who love what they do to help out with workshops for our young people.  You have the choice to either lead the workshops yourself or to be an assistant.

We have term-time youth provision that includes a weekly after school club (3-11 year olds), a female only youth club (Goals for Girls) and a mixed youth club (youth clubs are 11-18 year olds).  We also run our popular TeenScheme programme in February, May, during the Summer holidays, and October.  We are an inclusive charity so you will be working with children with and without Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
