Employability Support Worker x2 (E4496) - Barca Leeds

What will the role look like?

Bright Horizons is funded by The Reaching Communities Fund and will support jobless parents and carers experiencing health, social and economic barriers which stop them finding work. Most will be single parents and all will receive up to six months of intensive; one-to-one support from a keyworker. Early intervention underpins the programme and aims to support families before issues escalate and children risk criminal records, come to the attention of police or have their children excluded from school, all of which may result in major barriers to gaining and sustaining employment. The project will focus on three main areas :

• Prevention : to prevent or minimise the risk of problems arising;
• Early intervention : targeting resources on individuals or groups at high risk, or showing early signs of a problem, to try to stop it occurring;
• Early remedial treatment : intervening once there is a problem, to stop it getting worse and redress the situation.
