You will be based in a school 4 days a week (with day 5 at home to get caught up with paperwork).Although initially a fixed term contractuntil July 2023, the charity you are working for are hopeful this will extend to a longer-term post.

This could be education, apprenticeships, or employment.

Typical tasks throughout the week could include:

Delivering workshops a week which cover soft skills and employability
Hold one to ones with young people to support their progress
Link up with partners both internally and externally to move young people into educational / work programmes
Reach out to employers to secure work experience placement opportunities
Liaise with employers and young people for placement feedback
