    Default job background
    Description
    WorkingRite has been delivering a work-based mentored training programme for hard-to-reach young people across Scotland for nearly two decades.

    Our model is built on creating a one-to-one mentoring relationship between a trainee and an adult working mentor, selected from within the workforce of a local business - any kind of business.

    We also work throughout schools in Scotland, offering support to selected young people as they transition from the school environment.


    Our strategy is to work with young people earlier, in more depth and for longer.


    Earlier:
    reaching young people earlier in their lives and providing access to a vocational pathway while in the S4 year at school (Rite to Work programme)


    More depth:
    more in depth support for the young people that have already left school. More flexible lengths of participation, multiple placements where necessary, community level partnership work to explore the needs of the wider family (WorkingRite programme)


    Longer:
    every young person that achieves a destination through a WorkingRite programme will have the option of being matched with an adult, volunteer mentor to help them navigate the transition into working life – and beyond (On Your Side Mentoring programme)


    We have also recently appointed a new CEO who has a vision to see us increase our work in the 5 local authorities we already work in and expand into new areas of Scotland where the needs of young people are greatest.

    It has long been an ambition of WorkingRite to start to reach the young people we support earlier, i.e.

    before they leave school.

    For 16 year-old school leavers who did not succeed at school academically and are put off by the idea of college or any kind of classroom training, the availability of support to achieve a working adulthood straight from school is illusive.

    In Kilmarnock over the past 3 years, we have supported over 70 young people from five schools via Rite to Work with over 75% achieving a job, apprenticeship or a vocational college course.

    In Edinburgh, in the 2021/22 academic year we launched a pilot with eight of Leith Acadamy's most disengaged S4 pupils and achieved positive destinations with seven.

    The next year Castlebrae Community School in Craigmillar joined.

    We have now been successful in securing a major investment to support the roll out of Rite to Work into new local authority areas across Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.

    We are now committed to launching a further nine Rite to Work projects in new schools across these areas over the next three years.

    This new post will help us deliver and grow the impact of Rite to Work in Edinburgh for generations to come.


    Our employee benefits reflect our culture which is built on an approach of full flexibility with accountability, and designed to help you make your most positive contribution.

    We offer Flexible Working by Default (allowing you to agree a work pattern with your line manager that works for you from the start of your role), annual leave you can flex around bank & school holidays, Employee Pension scheme, Life Assurance, and Employee Assistance Programme.
