Simon Doling

Community Development Officer -Youth Focus Suffolk Coordinator

Simon has over twenty years’ experience of working with young people in both formal and informal settings. He was the officer for a two year county-wide youth music project, has worked offering IAG at Suffolk New College and more recently worked as youth employment coach with Inspire. Prior to that, he worked in a variety of roles in and around the music industry, as an artist manager, tour manager and sound engineer. He also still works as a musical accompanist for contemporary dance, plays in a band and organises the occasional gig too. Simon is committed, driven and equally passionate about assisting young people in achieving their ambitions and discovering their strengths, as he is about music. He comes into the role of Youth Focus Coordinator, hoping to make a significant impact in the development and support of youth work within the county.
