The Shaw Trust, in tandem with government and the broader employment support community across the UK, is working hard to make sure we support as many individuals as possible to get and keep a job. We believe that everyone who needs help and support to attain their employment goals should be able to access it as soon as possible and that support should reflect their individual needs.
To help us in this mission, we are looking to expand our employability services and are looking for Digital Coaches to work on our DWP Work & Health Programme Job Entry – Targeted Support (WHP JETS) Programme.
The Digital Coach role contributes to our mission of reducing digital illiteracy, and you will support our participants in learning how to access and operate in a virtual world. You will provide advice and support to guide and encourage participants to overcome barriers to employment and achieve realistic job goals by becoming confident in using digital equipment.
Based from home, you will have a willingness to support participants through a blended learning approach using digital online technologies as well as in-person face to face support and be willing and able to travel.
The role holder will be expected to manage a caseload of participants, supporting their journey to employment by enhancing their skills and confidence in using digital devices and technology. The Digital Coach will offer advice and direction to enable participants to access support they need. It is expected that candidates for this position will be highly skilled in both IT and coaching and able to lead individuals and groups in order to maximise the learning environment and learning outcomes for our participants. Excellent interpersonal skills, and the ability to explain information to others in a variety of formats is crucial as is the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues and participants.
The ideal candidate must have an understanding of the local and regional labour market and employment issues within Peterborough and Cambridgeshire and be able to maintain an up-to-date working knowledge of the benefit system and entitlements.

You will consistently deliver high quality services to support our communities and beneficiaries in a fast pace, target driven environment. Additionally, an understanding of government funded employment programmes such as the Work and Health Programme would be an advantage.
The role is home based with travel within Peterborough and Cambridgeshire, as the support will be delivered predominately as face-to-face as part of our outreach service, with an element of virtual delivery.
