Employability Coordinator

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.

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

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
