Paid work experience for young people
Exciting new opportunities for young people aged 16-25 from lower-income households.
We’re proud to announce an exciting new work experience opportunity for young people aged 16 to 25 from lower-income households.
Starting in mid-August 2019, we will have ten to 15 paid work experience roles for young people. A mixture of full- and part-time positions, they will run from three to six months with a salary of £8.21 per hour.
We are looking for enthusiastic young people ready to take their first steps into the world of work. They may be looking to find a way into the charity sector, or maybe would like to try something and see if it’s right for them.
If you work with young people who are ready for this opportunity, we want to hear from you. Please email Andrew Lloyd for more information.
