Are you passionate about making a difference and want to join a commercial organisation with a social purpose?

Do you also want to work in an exciting, start-up environment where you will have the opportunity to help shape the company culture, be challenged, learn new skills and innovate?

If the answer is yes, we would love to hear from you.

Jobs 22 is an innovative new company created by the national UK charity, Catch22 and the Angus Knight Group. Catch22 has designed and delivered services that build resilience and aspiration in people and communities for over 200 years, and the Angus Knight Group is a major provider of human services across Australia and a skills provider in the UK.

With the support and experience of these established organisations, we are building a new approach to helping individuals who may have been out of work for a significant period of time, to find employment.

We have a dedicated team of supportive coaches, skills trainers, occupational health advisors and labour market analysts, all focused on inspiring and motivating individuals to overcome barriers they may have to get back into meaningful and sustainable employment.

As part of a new government initiative, we are working with employers, local government and other partners to deliver tailored support for individuals across several parts of the UK.

Our mission is to deliver a thoughtful, effective and commercial approach to helping individuals create better lives for themselves and their local communities, through work.

**About the Role**

Skills Trainers improve the opportunities of participants by coaching, training and upskilling them to achieve their career goals.

You will develop and deliver training in basic skills and other related areas ensuring that content is accessible to all participants.
