Engagement Worker Level 1

Job description

Do you have a passion for engaging with and inspiring young people?

We are looking for an Engagement Worker to join our friendly community team in Manchester.

You will become part of a team that provides careers advice and guidance to 16 18-year-olds who are not in education, employment or training.

Our teams empower young people, helping them get to where they want to be.

In this varied and rewarding role, you will contact and engage young people who may have dropped out of education or work.

You will work alongside other members of your team to reach out to young people in the community, often through home-visits (in pairs) and making follow up phone calls.







You will contact disengaged young people or their parents / carers through various channels, so excellent communication skills are essential.

You will play a vital role in helping us to connect with young people who may need our support.

Through building meaningful relationships, you will help us to empower even more young people to plan their futures whether that is employment, education, training, or building personal and social skills through new experiences, volunteering or short programmes.

You’ll also help link young people up to wellbeing and mental health support when required.

You’ll help young people understand their own skills and strengths, overcome personal barriers and create a better future for themselves.

We offer full training and induction to enable you to settle into the role, and a friendly, supportive work environment with colleagues who genuinely care about the work we do and the communities that we support.

Engagement Workers earn £21,912 per annum

Qualifications

You don’t need to be qualified in Careers Guidance for this role,





but we are looking for people with some experience of helping others and 5 GCSEs or equivalent level qualification.

Location

You will have a base at our office in Moss Side, Manchester but you will work primarily in venues across the community.

You will need to be able to manage your time well and travel independently because this is not a home-based role.
