Would you like to join a charity supporting 18 – 24-year-olds gain skills to help them in the workplace? You will be working for a national charity who delivery supported internships for young people with autism or a learning disability. The programme provides classroom-based learning (so employability and functional skills) combined with a work experience placement – and supports the young person throughout the process.
You will have a varied role. The split of your week roughly works out as one day a week for admin. One day classroom-based working as a teaching assistant. And then 3 days visiting young people in the workplace and working with them to help them understand the role, as well as liaising with the employer for feedback and discussing any workplace adjustments. You will also support young people in the practicalities of getting to and from work. You will also conduct some reaching out to employers to get internship opportunities for learners. Learners and employers are typically in the Kingston area but can be as far as central London.
You must have experience of working with young people, ideally SEND with autism / learning disability experience. This role would suit a teaching assistant looking for a change. Or a youth worker or maybe employment advisor or job coach.
