Job description

Permanent, Full Time 37 hours per week.

A great opportunity has arisen to join the Bristol WORKS team. We are looking for two people to join us on a full time basis (37 hours). There is flexibility to request term time only working.

We are looking for a motivated self starter who can coordinate, deliver, and evaluate high quality career related workshops and sessions for a wide range of young people aged 11 – 16 in schools across Bristol.

Our delivery sessions are often led by employers so the postholder will be responsible for collaborating with them to design their sessions and for supporting them to engage meaningfully with young people and our partner schools. Bristol WORKS aims particularly to support those students who face the greatest challenges in relation to accessing learning, skills and employment across the city. The role is out and about across secondary schools in Bristol and within surrounding areas so the post holder must be able to travel accordingly (travel expenses are covered from the office to schools).

You will need to be an enthusiastic and resilient person who is able to prioritise workload and work to targets. You must be passionate about finding solutions for enabling young people to improve long term career progression and creative and curious about how we can improve our service to coordinate and deliver high quality careers provision and activities. You will need to be confident, driven, enthusiastic and able to deliver high quality bespoke support along with an understanding of personal challenges that may be barriers to progression.

The Bristol WORKS team sits within the Young Careers and Pathways team within the Employment, Skills and Learning division of Bristol City Council. They are responsible for tracking, empowering and supporting young people aged 16 – 18 and 19 – 25 for young people who have an education health care plan to find suitable education, employment and training. The role being advertised is within the Pre 16 work strand and will support young people to find suitable opportunities to help them reach their full potential. Our service offers direct support alongside referrals to other specialist provisions.

Experience of working in other similar roles would be beneficial as well as a knowledge of current Bristol education, employment and training opportunities but not essential as training will be given.
