It is an exciting time to join the charity as we embark on a new five year strategy. If you are passionate about Social Mobility and motivated by supporting young people living in some of the UK’s most deprived areas, this could be the charity for you!

Our Careers Development Managers (CDMs) are the main point of contact for young people on our social mobility programmes. The main focus of the role is the recruitment, development and support of young people into meaningful careers. 

CDMs create recruitment networks in their areas and lead bootcamps to improve their employability (e.g. interview techniques) and to enhance their personal and leadership abilities (e.g. critical thinking). Once young people are hired, CDMs use their established relationship to provide pastoral care and in-work support.
