Roundabout’s Employment and Skills Worker works across all our services guiding and motivating young people towards sustainable education, training and employment.
This role involves helping young people job search, create a CV, develop interview skills and apply for appropriate training and employment. In addition to this, the Employment and Skills Worker liaises with local employers to offer opportunities to vulnerable young homeless people.
Most of the young people we work with have an ambition and aspiration to access work or training but lack the confidence, self-esteem, motivation and social skills to do this successfully. Our dedicated Employment and Skills Worker ensures that these young people develop these areas and will be supported through each process of establishing and applying for training and jobs.
This role is funded through partnership with the H&M Foundation as part of their Transforming Futures programme.
Three incredible young people from the programme shared their stories in the video below, including Sophie who was supported by Roundabout’s Job Coach, Rowena.
