The Lennox Partnership - We Work for Families Coordinator
The Lennox Partnership delivers the We Work For Families project across North Ayrshire, supporting parents to overcome barriers and progress towards sustainable employment, education and training.
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference in people's lives. As an Employment Coordinator, you will work alongside parents, providing tailored one-to-one mentoring, encouragement and practical support to help them build confidence, develop skills and achieve their employment goals.
Using a compassionate, strengths-based approach, you will empower parents to overcome barriers, recognise their potential, and create positive, lasting change for themselves and their families. You will work collaboratively with local employers and partner organisations to identify opportunities and ensure parents receive the right support at the right time.
