The programme includes structured learning, community projects, work experience, employer engagement, and a 4‑day residential—where you will take a lead role in supporting and supervising participants.

-
build relationships with referral agencies, local organisations and employers to support recruitment and work experience opportunities
-
work closely with internal colleagues to ensure quality, safety and compliance.
You will need:
-
experience working with young people from diverse backgrounds
-
strong organisational, communication and leadership skills
-
ability to motivate and inspire young people facing multiple barriers
-
confidence in managing health, safety and safeguarding responsibilities
-
