Brighton Youth Centre (BYC) jobs and careers

About Brighton Youth Centre (BYC)

Established in 1917, Brighton Youth Centre (BYC) is one of Brighton & Hove's longest running and best-used youth services. It's a thriving hub of activity, providing a central space for the city's youth work and attracting over 1 ,500 young people every year. As a team, we're proud of the young people we work with and support, and we're continually impressed by the contributions they make to their local community through the activities at BYC every day. Projects such as B.fest, Brighton's biggest youth-led arts festival, facilities like Brighton's only indoor skateboard park, and the connections we offer to other services, including mental health, LGBTQI+ and refugee support, make BYC a very special and unique space in the heart of the city. BYC is a safe space where all young people have the freedom to be themselves, come together, learn from each other and challenge themselves to make a difference in their own lives and the lives of their community. We place their voices, aspirations and concerns at the heart of everything we do because we believe all children and young people deserve to be taken seriously. We work with over 20 partner organisations and projects who currently use the centre as their base, including specialist services for young people who are care experienced, on the autistic spectrum, LGBTQI+, asylum seekers, experience mental ill health or homelessness, such as Brighton & Hove Pupil Referral Unit, Allsorts Youth Project, YMCA DownsLink and Mascot; and youth arts and creative industries organisations like Southeast Dance, BlockBuilders, Miss Represented and Art In Mind.
