Current vacancies
WorkingRite seeks to stop the cycle of deprivation and poverty that occur in so many communities across Scotland. We do this through our award-winning, youth employability programme, which sees practical work skills coupled with personal development, strengthened through a mentored work placement with a small, local business of the young person’s choice. Our flexible, person-centered programmes of training, support and work placements put the young people at the heart of their future, helping those 15 – 24 years old who are furthest from the job market, to gain confidence, real skills and a foothold on the employability ladder. We have been operating as a charity since 2011 and in that time have supported over 3,500 young people into a positive destination. We currently operate programmes in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and East Ayrshire.

• Engage and motivate disengaged young people in groups and 1:1
• Offer new and creative ideas to support WorkingRite to develop its offer to trainees in work

You will have excellent communication skills, strong IT skills and be well organised with experience in the delivery of similar programmes. Above all, you must be enthusiastic and want to support young people.
