An opportunity has arisen for two King's Trust Team Leaders to join an inclusive and value-driven public sector organisation with an outstanding organisational culture.
We offer free car parking, a generous pension and generous annual leave.
This is a challenging but immensely rewarding role, delivering the King's Trust Team Programme to young people in the 16-25 age group in Lancashire. The King's Trust Programme is a personal development programme that enables young people to develop their confidence, motivation and skills through teamwork in the community.
It brings together people of different abilities, circumstances, and backgrounds — both employed and unemployed.
As a King's Trust Team Leader, you will hold or be willing to work towards Level 3 Award in Education and Teaching (QCF) within the first year of employment and progress to Level 4 Certificate in Education and Teaching (QCF) and hold or be willing to work towards an IOSH, Certificate in Managing Safely; with GCSEs Grade C or above in English and Math or equivalent. You will have excellent organisational and communication skills with the ability to work on your own initiative and as part of a team. Able to work outside normal office hours is an essential requirement, as is a current driving licence.
You will demonstrate a commitment to equality and embrace diversity. The ability to empathise with young people, work with them — often resolving conflict — and supporting their development will come as second nature to you, and you will have the skills to liaise effectively with various agencies and professionals who deal with the young people on a daily basis.
Additionally, you will have experience of managing health and safety issues and undertaking risk assessments.
