ABOUT UPREACH

Do you think that your socio-economic background should determine your career prospects?

upReach’s vision is of a society in which everybody has an equal opportunity to realise their full career potential. Our work is important because right now a student from disadvantaged background who gains a first-class degree from a top university is less likely to secure an elite job than a more privileged student with a 2.2. 

We are an award-winning charity employer working to address this issue in partnership with employers and universities. We help undergraduates from lower socioeconomic backgrounds achieve their career potential by providing an intensive programme of support that addresses socio-economic barriers to graduate employment.

GREEN DOCTOR ACADEMY

This placement is part of a national Green Doctor Trainee scheme funded by the Cadent Foundation. Trainees will take part in the Green Doctor Academy: a program of training, learning and support. This will include a period of training, support, and observing colleagues before you take responsibility for your own Green Doctor caseload.

The Green Doctor Academy, provided by Groundwork Manchester, will include a 2-day induction for trainees to understand the role and explore key issues of fuel poverty, energy-saving awareness, climate education and property retrofit.

This is followed by a mixture of face-to-face and online training and opportunities to gain qualifications such as:

• Level 3 City and Guilds Energy Awareness

• Carbon Literacy Certificate

• Qualifications Network UK (QNUK) Level 2 Health and Safety at Work

• QNUK Level 2 Award in Principles of Manual handling at Work

• QNUK Level 2 Safe Use of Ladders and Stepladders (3 Guided Learning Hours)

• Safeguarding and working with vulnerable residents

To give you an idea of the kind of learning involved in the Green Doctor Academy, Level 2 qualifications equate to a GCSE standard pass (Intermediate GNVQ or BTEC first certificate) and will help you build knowledge in the area. Level 3 covers more complex work and will help you develop your supervisory skills – this equates to BTEC National Certificate or Vocational A-Level / A-level.

In addition, Groundwork South will provide a full induction to our organisation and how Green Doctor works across our region. Training and support for trainees will include:

• Line manager support to map and review the goals of your placement.
