Derby County Community Trust has a clear mission. We harness the power of Derby County Football Club to improve lives and communities through sport, physical activity, health and education. We help more than 40,000 people per year and our work is recognised and respected at regional and national levels. Since 2008 we have been encouraging participation and achievement in sport, improving health and wellbeing, providing and enhancing education and promoting equality and diversity.
We care about our community; we care about our people. We’re looking for a passionate self-starter to join our team in the position of Inclusion Mentor to make a real difference in the lives of children and young people.
This rewarding role supports young people who may be at risk of disengagement, anti-social behaviour or involvement in crime, helping them to overcome challenges and achieve positive educational, personal and social outcomes. Through mentoring, sport and engaging activities, you will build trusted relationships, boost confidence and resilience, and empower young people to make positive life choices.
Working across schools and community settings, you’ll deliver tailored one-to-one and group interventions, collaborate with families and partner agencies, and help create lasting pathways for progression and success. As part of a dynamic team, you’ll also contribute to the Students Mentoring and Personal Development Programme, support the delivery of The King’s Trust Programme, and play a key role in wider inclusion initiatives such as Premier League Kicks, disability provision, HAF and multi-sport activities, ensuring every participant enjoys a high-quality, inclusive and inspiring experience.
Our values underpin everything we deliver as a charity and you will be responsible for modelling these values through yourself and your work.
