MEMBERS of a community group are looking for two trainee youth workers.

The Shildon Children and Young People's Action Network needs a minimum of two trained youth workers for activities.

As a result, local people are being offered the chance to do a short course called An Introduction to Youth Work.

People completing the course will gain an NVQ level one in youth work, which includes a criminal records check. The course will be provided through The Shildon Centre and is free to 16 to 18-year-olds and £35 for the over-18s.

Anyone interested in the course -or a planned level two course -can contact The Shildon Centre on 01388-777948.
