Buckinghamshire Council is set to hire 35 young residents as part of the Government’s Kickstart Scheme.
The scheme provides young people (aged 16 to 24 years) claiming Universal Credit and at risk of long-term unemployment, with valuable work experience and an opportunity to develop their workplace skills.
All of the roles will be for a minimum of 25 hours per week, and participants will be employed by Buckinghamshire Council on a six-month fixed term contract. The government will fund the National Minimum Wage or National Living Wage, depending on the age of the Kickstart participant.
Kickstart roles at the Council will include Project Support Administrator, Library Services Assistant, Environmental Health Support Officer, ICT Support Assistant and HR Service Desk Advisor.
Each Kickstart employee will be allocated a buddy and/or mentor. The buddy/mentor will initiate one-to-one discussions to help the Kickstart employee understand the different skills and career pathways available to them and to encourage them to start thinking about their next destination if they aren't already.
Interested candidates can apply for a Kickstart placement through an initial referral from the local Jobcentre Plus, then by completing Buckinghamshire Council’s online application form: https://bit.ly/BucksKickstart
