Do you have a passion for supporting young people to unlock their potential, overcome barriers, and achieve brighter futures?

We’re looking for an Employment, Education and Resilience Specialist to join our team and help transform outcomes for care leavers across West London.

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an innovative pilot programme, working closely with Local Authority care leaver teams. You’ll support young people aged 16–24 to build resilience, access education, and move into meaningful employment.

• Act as a resilience coach, providing ongoing support to help participants sustain employment or education outcomes.

This role is community-based, with regular travel across Ealing, Harrow, and the wider West London region.

About you

• Experience supporting people into employment or education, ideally young people or care leavers.
• A proactive, optimistic approach to engaging participants and building relationships with local stakeholders.
• Strong organisational and caseload management skills.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to motivate and inspire.
• Empathy, resilience, and a genuine belief in the potential of young people facing complex barriers.

You’ll also need

• An understanding of the challenges faced by care leavers (essential).
• The ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
• A flexible approach, including some out-of-hours work.
