A clearer vision for a safer journey
Jay Olorunda
Senior Youth Engagement Worker
My background in fitness set me up with extensive experience of coaching and training young people in an environment that benefits them mentally and physically. The passion and drive I developed from providing opportunities to young people who wish to develop themselves and pursue careers in similar fields ignited my interest in working therapeutically and creatively with young people.
I have a wealth of experience and expertise from mainstream education, SEND, AP's and PRU's, youth mediation and gang work which has enabled me to deepen my knowledge and provide an outstanding service to vulnerable young people.
I have over 15 years experience working extensively with children, young people and adults in different and complex community settings across London, supporting individuals resettlement needs, emotional and behaviour difficulties, and social development.
Since working with Wipers I have become skilled in organisational development, mentoring, and training. I relish opportunities to use all my skills, knowledge and experience to help young people develop their careers and life opportunities whilst also ensuring they simultaneously receive holistic support for their mental health and emotional well being.
