Working arrangements:Part-time. May include evenings and weekends as necessary

Role purpose:

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an innovative charity, which is leading the way in addressing social exclusion.

Trelya aims to break the cycle of social exclusion. To enable children and young people at risk of social exclusion as a result of social and economic deprivation to develop the skills, knowledge, awareness, aspirations and motivation to make positive choices about their lives and their behaviours.

Trelya is a medium-size independent youth organisation based in West Cornwall. Behind the images of sun, sea and sand, is one of the most economically deprived counties in the UK; a county where people experience high unemployment, high house prices, low paid, often seasonal work and rural isolation.

Trelya (the Cornish word for change) was registered as a charity in 2001. Concerned individuals in the community and local agencies had identified huge gaps in services for families at risk of social exclusion in West Cornwall. They set up Trelya to tackle the issues arising from social exclusion amongst some of the “hardest to reach” families in the area. One of the main aims of Trelya was to set up projects that would interrupt and break the cycles of social exclusion in deprived communities. Innovative, different, well resourced, long term services were needed to address social exclusion, and it was decided that an independent charitable organisation would be the most effective vehicle for delivering these services.
