Jobs 22 is seeking expressions of interest from individuals for the role of Employment Coach for the exciting new Restart employment support scheme, which will support unemployed individuals across Central England and Wales.

Jobs 22 is an exciting new company created by and jointly owned by Catch22 Charity Limited, a social business operating across all areas of the welfare cycle in the UK, and Angus Knight Group a major provider of human services across Australia and skills provider in the UK.

The Restart scheme is a new government initiative that will give Universal Credit claimants who have been out of work for at least 12 months enhanced support to find jobs in their local area, working with employers, local government and other partners to deliver tailored support for individuals.

We are seeking expressions of interest from individuals for the role of Employment Coach.  As Employment coach you will be responsible for inspiring and motivating individuals to overcome any barriers’ they may have in their life to get back into meaningful and sustainable employment.

If you are passionate about making a difference to peoples’ lives through work and want to join a mission led organisation this could be the job for you.
