As a member of the ‘Training Ground’ project, we want you to engage with young people and enable them to reach their full potential with education, training, and employment (ETE) opportunities.

As an Employment Mentor you will help the young people to develop their skills, confidence and offer them guidance when entering the workplace.

The Training Ground programme uses the power of the club’s badge to engage with young people in the community. The project will provide one-to-one mentoring sessions and access to wraparound support, including physical activity sessions, employability and life skills sessions.

The programme will provide an opportunity for targeted groups of young people not currently in education, training or employment in Merton and Kingston to access training and work experience to enable them to gain the skills and confidence to gain employment.

The post holder will have experience in working with young people from a range of backgrounds, whilst also building professional relationships with employers and external stakeholders.
