Are you passionate about working with young people and have excellent project management skills? 

Join an exciting, fast-paced and growing social enterprise as a Programme Facilitator focussed on delivering entrepreneurship, and wider careers and employability programmes for young people.

We believe every young person can be a changemaker. By developing young people’s skills and confidence, we empower them to shape their lives and the world around them.

Our programme facilitators are our front line team, delivering innovative and exciting programmes with young people across our network of schools, colleges, businesses and community organisations. We pride ourselves on being innovative, embracing new technology and ensuring that we have young people at the heart of everything we do.

  • A fun, driven and passionate team.

  • A fixed term post with a view to extending the contract.

  • Technology including a MacBook, iPhone and relevant accessories to make your working life easier.

  • Growth: we invest in individuals and are an ambitious organisation.

  • Access to PerkBox, an external employee benefits & rewards scheme.

  • A generous workplace pension scheme whereby the employer contributes 3% of total employee earnings, rather than the legal-minimum of 3% of employee earnings above the threshold.

  • A full year of team-building and CPD opportunities.

Please note that such checks will include both spent and unspent convictions. Any candidate with convictions relating to offences against children or other vulnerable people will be deemed as unsuitable to work at Unloc and any job offer will be made on this basis.
