At MAP, we are advisers, counsellors, youth workers and other professionals working together to provide the best support we can to young people aged 11-25, in a way that works for them.
At MAP we work for social justice. We are an inclusive workplace, welcoming everybody to bring their authentic whole selves to work every day. Upholding equality at MAP is not only about eliminating discrimination; it is about actively recognising and valuing difference; making the most of everyone’s potential.
The Generalist Advice Service at MAP offers advice on a range of issues that affect young people, such as Housing, Benefits, Debt, Sexual Health and Employment. We operate primarily via drop ins in Norwich, Great Yarmouth and Kings Lynn. As an Adviser you would deliver generalist advice as part of a skilled, dynamic and caring team.
