Barnardo's Works is an employability service working in partnership with associated employers to provide young people aged 16-29 (and parents up to the age of 35 in Dundee), with a unique blend of personal support and accredited training, matched with quality work experience and the opportunity for sustainable, independent employment.
Barnardo's is delighted to be part of the ”All in Dundee” Consortium of Third Sector Training Providers led by ENABLE Works in Dundee. This project is funded by Dundee City Council. This is a full-time position, 37 hours per week, and 100% of working hours will be dedicated to the role of Annual Participation Measure (APM) Co-ordinator. The successful candidate will be responsible for contributing towards the delivery of the Discover Work Partnership's Positive Destinations Framework, which has the following mission statement: “Every young person in Dundee is entitled to access a suitable and appropriate post-school opportunity.” This post will act as an integral link between the Secondary Schools across Dundee and the range of employability provision available; thus ensuring that each young person is matched to a suitable post-school opportunity, receives after-care support and is picked up and supported if they do not sustain a post-school offer.
This post will attend regular Positive Destinations Meetings in the Secondary Schools, chaired by the Deputy Heads responsible for Positive Destinations, and they will ensure effective signposting routes and the monitoring and reporting of progress made by each young person; providing regular updates to the schools to support the ongoing tracking of young people post school. It is important that young people are matched to the right provision, so this post will build strong relationships with employability providers across the City and will develop a strong understanding of each organisation's offer.
For further details on the role, and the skills/qualities/experience we are looking for, please refer to the Additional Information Sheet. This is a permanent role, however this is subject to continued funding which is confirmed annually. We are currently part of a 5-year funding framework up to 2029.
