We offer a strong team environment, where your ideas and drive will be welcomed and where you as an individual can make a real difference to people’s lives.

• Deliver employment advice and guidance through online support and in person at one or more of Breaking Barriers’ delivery centres across London (as required, depending on Covid-19 government guidelines and restrictions).

• Create detailed briefings for volunteers to help them structure their appointments. Supervise and act as a point of contact for around 15 skilled volunteers, ensuring they are supported to deliver advice and guidance to a high standard.

3. Administrative Work

• Ensure that all paperwork and online records are completed accurately and in time for reporting deadlines.
• Update the Breaking Barriers database, keeping accurate records of client details, support provided during appointments, client progress and planned next steps.
• Record summaries of clients’ appointments to ensure that accurate records are maintained.

• Take part in meetings both with the Programmes team and the wider organisation, sharing ideas and feedback.
