The Bytes Project was established in 1993 to promote and support personal development through creative ICT with unattached young people 16-25.

Bytes have currently 10 centres, 9 in Belfast and one centre in Londonderry/Derry and require a bank of Casual Development Officers

The Bytes Project wishes to appoint a bank of casual Development Officers who can work across the centres on an ad hoc basis.

An hourly rate of pay will apply, depending on experience and qualifications.

Key tasks will be to assist full-time Development Officers to work directly with young people; particularly those engaged in risk taking behaviour and assist in enabling them to develop a suitable range of personal, social and ICT skills.
