3 weeks ago

Swansea, City and County of Swansea, United Kingdom Barnardo's Full time

Barnardo's and Amazon have joined together to pilot a project which aims to support and transform the lives of young people who are not in education, employment, or training.

The pilot took place in Tilbury, Essex, and due to the success, we are developing further sites across the nation.

The aim of the programme is to equip young people aged 18-29 with the skills, confidence, and ambition to pursue their goals of finding employment, apprenticeships or further education and training.

Amazon are offering real employment opportunities within their Swansea warehouse and the young people we are supporting will be invited to apply, interview and work for Amazon.


The Employability Coach role will provide a pivotal role to the development of the Barnardo's programme in the Swansea and surrounding areas.

Working with vulnerable young people who are not in education, employment or training, this role focuses on supporting young people through an 8-10week motivational programme and includes improving employability skills, confidence, and self-esteem work.

You will work assertively and creatively to engage with hard-to-reach young people.

The Employability Coach will lead and develop the work in this area and will be responsible for providing quality Information, Advice and Guidance.


You will be responsible for contributing to, devising and developing schemes of work, session plans and resources to meet curriculum requirements to equip young people with the personal social and development skills, motivation, confidence and employability skills to progress into and sustain employment and/or further education/training.

You will conduct 1:1 mentoring sessions and use outcome measurement tools to track changes.


You will be responsible for supporting young people to attend work placement/trials and ultimately employment opportunities and supporting service users to apply, prepare for and sustain this employment.


The post holder will be responsible for liaising with other Barnardo's services and agencies to access additional supportive services for service users where required.

You will also be required to liaise and work with local agencies to promote the project, generate referrals and recruit 10 young people onto each cohort.

This post will involve some travel around the Swansea area. The post is 12month funded with a review for potential continuation funding.

This is a positive change for the charity, and a key pillar of our _People & Culture_ Strategy.
