One week of this programme will be a residential undertaking outdoor pursuits and challenging activities. The programme’s prime aim is to build confidence, motivation and skills to help unemployed young people return to education or move into employment.

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and energetic individual who has the experience of working with young people and specific target groups. It is essential that the post holder has the ability to manage their own workload, and can work effectively and positively to deliver the programme and meet agreed targets.
