What we’re looking for

We’re interested in people who can engage and motivate young people, build confidence and genuinely want to help people overcome barriers and succeed.

You’ll ideally have experience in employability, youth work, education, careers, coaching, training, learning or another role supporting people to develop their skills and progress towards employment.

We’re looking for someone who can:

• Deliver engaging group learning to people with different abilities, confidence levels and support needs.
• Build positive, trusted relationships with young people and provide empathetic, practical and strengths-based one-to-one support.
• Engage, motivate and build confidence within a group setting through strong facilitation and presentation skills.
• Help people develop practical employability, workplace and life skills and overcome barriers to employment, education or training.
• Understand the challenges young people can face when entering the labour market, including limited work experience, confidence, skills gaps, caring responsibilities and wellbeing barriers.
• Adapt your approach to meet the needs of young people from diverse backgrounds and with different support requirements.
• Stay organised, manage competing priorities and respond effectively to changing participant needs and programme requirements.
• Work towards positive participant progression, employment outcomes and contractual targets.
• Bring a genuine commitment to tackling youth unemployment and helping young people reach their potential.

Experience of youth employment, welfare-to-work, employability, education, skills, careers or community programmes would be valuable, as would experience supporting young people with childcare or caring responsibilities, wellbeing needs or other barriers to employment.
