Young Gloucestershire

Young Gloucestershire is a youth work charity that also operates as an apprenticeship training provider, offering Youth Support Worker Level 3 apprenticeships for those working with young people across a range of sectors. Their apprenticeship programmes combine practical skills development with youth work theory and values, aiming to equip staff to work effectively with young people in community, education, and support settings. Apprentices benefit from weekly in-person sessions held at Young Gloucestershire’s youth centre, where learning is delivered in a supportive and hands‑on environment by tutors who are JNC‑qualified and bring frontline youth work experience. The organisation works closely with employers to tailor each apprentice’s journey, aligning on-the-job learning with organisational needs and ensuring that apprentices are supported to thrive in their roles. With over 30 years’ experience as a youth work charity, Young Gloucestershire positions its apprenticeship provision as an extension of its wider mission to support young people’s development, offering employers a specialist provider focused on high-quality youth work training.
