People experiencing socio-economic exclusion are further marginalised if they lack basic digital skills. A lack of digital proficiency can prevent companions at Emmaus from successfully engaging in essential life tasks, such as applying for jobs and housing, completing online forms (e.g. universal credit forms), paying bills, managing bank accounts, as well as day-to-day activities like booking / attending remote GP appointments.
We are conducting a 20-week pilot to deliver the Essential Digital Skills (EDS) Level 1 Qualification. The qualification will be offered onsite in our learning hub. Your role, as digital coach, will be to deliver the course to companions in a manner that supports their individual learning and well-being needs. The role includes recording lessons learned and making recommendations on the roll-out of further digital skills qualifications and courses
The Digital Coach will be responsible to deliver the Essential Digital Skills (EDS) Level 1 Qualification Pilot Project. You will support companions to develop digital and life skills so that they realise their full potential to find employment and move on from Emmaus when they are ready.
So, if you have great communications skills, experience of digital training and supporting people with complex needs and a positive “can do” attitude we would love to hear from you. You will be joining a friendly and enthusiastic team who are passionate about what they do.

Yn ganolog i’n hethos yw ein cred bod pobl sydd â phrofiad uniongyrchol o oresgyn problemau, megis cefndir troseddol, digartrefedd, dibyniaeth ar gyffuriau ac alcohol a bod yn aelod o gang, yn allweddol i sicrhau newid positif mewn eraill.
Pwy ydym ni?
Mae St Giles yn elusen cyfiawnder cymdeithasol arobryn sy'n defnyddio arbenigedd a phrofiadau go iawn o’r gorffennol i rymuso pobl nad ydynt yn cael y cymorth sydd ei angen arnynt. Pobl sy'n cael eu dal yn ôl gan dlodi, wedi'u hecsbloetio, eu cam-drin, sy’n delio â dibyniaeth neu broblemau iechyd meddwl, sy’n gaeth i drosedd neu gyfuniad o'r materion hyn ac eraill. Rydym yn dangos i bobl fod modd creu adeiladu dyfodol gwell iddynt hwy eu hunain a'r rhai y maent yn poeni amdanynt ac yn eu helpu i greu’r dyfodol hwn drwy gymorth, cyngor a hyfforddiant. Mae ein gwasanaethau dan arweiniad cymheiriaid yn cynrychioli asgwrn cefn ein gwaith, gan roi pobl â phrofiad personol wrth wraidd cyflwyno, dylunio a gwerthuso cefnogaeth a gwasanaethau ledled y DU.
Mae'r The Wise Group yn fenter gymdeithasol flaenllaw sy'n falch o wneud gwahaniaeth i fywydau pobl. Rydym yn falch o'r ffaith ein bod yn helpu pobl i ddod o hyd i swyddi, yn rhoi cyngor i bobl sy'n ei chael hi'n anodd gwresogi eu cartrefi ac yn cefnogi pobl i gael eu traed tanynt yn dilyn cyfnod yn y carchar. I wneud hyn, mae'r The Wise Group yn gweithio mewn partneriaeth â phawb, gan gynnwys busnesau mawr, llywodraeth genedlaethol a lleol a sefydliadau trydydd sector sy'n darparu cefnogaeth arbenigol hanfodol i'n cwsmeriaid. Gyda'n gilydd, rydym yn fwy na chyfanswm ein rhannau.
Daeth The Wise Group a St Giles at ei gilydd rai blynyddoedd yn ôl i ffurfio partneriaeth gyda'r nod o gefnogi'r diwygiadau Ailsefydlu Prawf drwy gynnig gwasanaeth o ansawdd uchel wedi'i ategu gan staff sydd â phrofiad personol a chymhwysedd diwylliannol.
