Job Description

Are you passionate about helping young people unlock their potential and take their first steps toward a brighter future?
We’re now looking for an inspiring and experienced Employability Coordinator to lead and grow a flagship employability programme, “The Way 2 Work.”

🌟 About the Role
As the Employability Coordinator, you’ll take charge of developing, delivering and evaluating an ambitious programme that prepares young people for the world of work.
You’ll:

Coordinate recruitment, delivery and retention of participants

Build partnerships with local employers and training providers

Deliver engaging workshops and personalised 1-to-1 support

Create innovative opportunities to help young people develop skills, confidence, and pathways into employment or training

Oversee externally funded projects and report on progress and outcomes

Be a visible, motivating role model and mentor to young people from all backgrounds

This is a hands-on role for someone who believes every young person deserves the chance to succeed — especially those who are NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training), disengaged, or facing barriers.

👀 What We’re Looking For
Proven experience delivering employability programmes to young people aged 16–25

Skilled in engaging vulnerable or hard-to-reach young people

A strong communicator who can build trust and inspire confidence

Experience supporting NEET young people into positive destinations

Experience working collaboratively with schools, employers, and partners

A creative mindset, with the ability to develop fresh, impactful approaches

A background in youth work, guidance, or education

Experience managing volunteers or youth workers (desirable)

Be flexible to work some evenings and weekends
