Are you a graduate looking to launch your career? Or maybe you have experience of working with young people and would like to join a large charity who support young people with SEN support needs such as a learning disability or autism.This charity works in partnership with Haringey Council and the College of North East London to provide work placements for young people with autism or a learning disability.

Supporting the young person to plan their journey to work so they can become independent.
Attending work with them, working closely with employers to provide support as needed.
Help the young person apply for paid work with CV writing, job applications and interview preparation.
End of day calls with the young person and employer to check on progress.
Liaising closely with the tutor around potential extra support needs.
Build relationships with employers to secure internship opportunities.

You will support up to 6 of 12 young people on the programme and you will be making a huge difference in their lives.To apply, you might be a recent graduate in a related degree such as psychology. Or you might have experience of working with young people with support needs, so could have worked as a tutor, teacher or learning support assistant or teaching assistant. You might have also worked as a support worker, hostel worker, careers advisor or employment advisor.The role is a full time FTC until 31st July 2025 subject to extension.
