About us
At Share, we’re passionate about supporting disabled people to set their own goals for learning and life, and then helping them to achieve their aspirations. The majority of our students are people with learning disabilities and/or autism. We offer a range of training, employment, personal development, and leisure opportunities.
Yes Chef! is a new project aimed at young people with mild to moderate levels of disability. We’ll be training people in catering and kitchen work so that they achieve vocational qualifications, great work habits, and a new confidence in themselves which helps them to move into employment or further training. This project is funded for one year, however if the project is a success we hope to secure future funding to continue it.
The role
The Job Coach will work closely with our Catering Trainer to develop participants’ confidence and self-esteem, work ethic, functional skills, and experience of working as part of a team. You will identify appropriate employers and liaise with them; set up work placements; support participants to be ready for applying for jobs, and then act as their mentor through the application and induction periods. You'll organise motivational workshops and events for participants. These may include sports and activities; drama workshops; grooming sessions; and more.
