Trainer

Catch22 exists to help build a society where everyone has a good place to live, good people around them, and a fulfilling purpose. We call these our '3Ps'.

We achieve this in two ways. First we improve lives on the frontline through delivery of public services. Secondly, we use our knowledge to change 'the system', to fix the complex web that can trap and disempower those it was set up to help. With the heart of a charity and the mindset of a business, we are uniquely placed to deliver on this challenging agenda.

The Catch22 Employability division provides skills and employability provision on a range of programmes, both public and corporate funded. We pride ourselves on supporting the most disadvantaged in society to improve their prospects resulting in improved social mobility and sustainable positive change.

Working within Catch22’s Employability division, you will design, coordinate and deliver high-quality, predominantly face-to-face employment preparation and skills development activities for young people on the National Jobs Guarantee.

Reporting to the Team Leader, you will work closely with Career Coaches and Employer Engagement colleagues to provide a structured, inclusive and employer-informed programme of group and individual learning. You will build confidence, employability skills, workplace behaviours and readiness for paid employment.

You will be accountable for agreed training and participant progression KPIs, accurate attendance and learning records, quality and compliance, and timely action where engagement or progress falls below expectations.
