Your role will primarily focus on coordinating the placements and developing relationships with employers, so you can make a real impact right from the start.
A typical week in this role could involve reaching out to new organisations to discuss opportunities for taking on young people for work experience placements or paid work. You may also visit employers to talk about current placements and explore further opportunities, as well as deliver one-to-one and group sessions around job searching and interview preparation for learners. Additionally, you may provide cover for employment coaches and support learners in preparing for work experience placements, including accompanying them if necessary. You will also supervise a team of skills coaches, who support young people on placements. It is important that you are comfortable managing a team.
