This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an innovative charity, which is leading the way in addressing social exclusion. Behind the images of sun, sea and sand, is one of the most economically deprived counties in the UK; a county where people experience high unemployment, high house prices, low paid, often seasonal work and rural isolation.
Trelya (the Cornish word for ‘change’), is an award-winning charity working to enable positive change in West Cornwall’s most under resourced communities. We know from experience that the children, young people and families living in our communities are unique and skilled individuals with incredible potential. Trelya aims to break the cycle of social exclusion. To enable children and young people at risk of social exclusion as a result of social and economic deprivation to develop the skills, knowledge, awareness, aspirations and motivation to make positive choices about their lives and their behaviours. We work with some of the “hardest to reach” families in the area.
The GUL Deputy Manager/Family Worker will be part of the Gul Skills Development Project - an innovative, intensive project aimed at improving the employability of participants through the development of work-ready skills, confidence, knowledge, aspirations and wrap around support. Opportunities will be offered through Trelya’s new Community Cafe and Art Space and will include in-house work experience, group and 1 to 1 support, training, accreditation and seamless progression pathways. The Coordinator will ensure the project consistently provides an enriching and educative environment – giving all participants the opportunity to develop and fulfil their potential. This role will be carried out through direct delivery and work within the team.
