  • Webinars and Content Creation: Deliver regular webinars and work with our marketing team to produce engaging video content with employer partners.
  • Post-Placement Support: Conduct post-placement check-ins for a 6-month period to ensure sustained progress and offer continued support.
  • Employability Programmes: Deliver structured employability programmes and accreditations such as BTEC work skills.
  • Record Keeping: Maintain accurate records of all interactions with young people, mentors, and other stakeholders, using designated tracking systems.
  • Collaborative Working: Develop effective joint working practices with our community partners such as job centres, supported housing groups, young carers, training providers, and other agencies to ensure a holistic approach in service delivery to young people.

  • Passionate about empowering young people and helping them overcome barriers to employment.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Previous experience in mentoring, youth work, or a similar role would be beneficial.
