Young People Now spent a day with Gareth Sayers, 26, a personal adviser at Derbyshire's 8m Connexions partnership, to see what his job involves.
9.04am
Driving to Derby's Curzon Street Connexions centre, Sayers explains he is "on duty" for drop-ins and appointments between 10am and 1pm today.
Then he will move on to in-school clients and a multi-agency meeting.
Sayers runs the Breadsall Youth Centre in Chaddesden on Tuesday nights.
9.32am
Checking his email before going down to the centre, Sayers finds he has been asked to get involved in a local sexual health day at Swanwick Hall School later this month. Co-ordination of days like these and service provision with other organisations is part of Sayers' multi-agency work.
