“The facilitator is a friend and teacher mixed into one…
she gets the reasoning from the teacher and the understanding bit from
the friend.” - Power2 Rediscover Young Person
Power2 is a fast growing and energetic children and young people’s charity that has supported 25,000 young people since 2001. We
are based in the North West of England and London and deliver
early-intervention asset-based programmes to children and young people
who have mental wellbeing challenges and are disengaged from school and
more widely. We are well-known for our accredited Teens and Toddlers
programme.
We believe every child and young person deserves the opportunity to
thrive, even when things get tougher. We support young people to get the
most out of their education by helping them to improve their mental
health and wellbeing and develop their skills. We inspire young people
who are at significant risk of school exclusion to re-engage and fulfil
their potential at school, at work and in life.
Our work is growing and we are looking for new Programme
Leads to deliver our programmes so that all children and young people,
regardless of their needs, feel they belong and can prosper.
Our new Programme Leads will work as part of a team in secondary
schools to support young people, their families, and school staff to
ensure that at-risk pupils make the most of their education and improve
their life chances. Work will include 1:1 support and delivery of
Power2’s core programmes, including Teens and Toddlers and Power2
Progress. The successful candidates could be based in one school or
travel between multiple schools.
The relationships you cultivate with the young people you work with
are at the heart of our success – so recruiting the right people is
paramount. Our facilitators work with significant autonomy and authority
and must embrace responsibility and be accountable for their work. They
work collaboratively alongside young people, operating as a mentor as
they empower young people to develop self-esteem, become resilient and
engage with school and their own future. They give each young person the
time, the confidence and skills to engage with their education and
their future life plans.
Candidates are encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn’t
precisely match the job description for this role. Your experience,
skills and passion will set you apart so tell us your achievements,
irrespective of whether they are personal or work-related and how this
has shaped you, including things you’ve learnt along the way.
We are specifically interested to hear from applicants who have lived
experience of the issues we seek to address (childhood experience of
having low family income, being disengaged with school and learning,
experiencing poor wellbeing/mental health, being care-experienced,
involved in gangs and violence). It is also important to us that the
people we hire do not discriminate. We believe in being inclusive and
giving everyone an equal chance to succeed. Applications are welcome
from all regardless of age, sex, gender identity, disability, marriage
or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion or belief, race,
sexual orientation, transgender status or social economic background.
On the second page of the application form, please upload a CV and
personal statement. Use the personal statement as an opportunity to
convince us why your skills and experience make you the right person for
this role, paying particular attention to the criteria on the person
specification. Applications without a personal statement will not be
considered.
Diversity, Equality and Inclusion
Power2 strives to be a diverse and inclusive place where we can ALL
be ourselves. We are committed to equality of opportunity for all staff
and applications from individuals are encouraged regardless of age,
disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy and
maternity, race, religion or belief and marriage and civil partnerships.
We work to ensure that our recruitment process is as inclusive as
possible and encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply. If we
can make the application process more accessible to you, please let us
know.
Safeguarding
Power2 is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of
children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share
this commitment. All successful candidates will be required to have an
enhanced DBS certificate (child workforce) in place and provide details
of two referees. As part of our commitment to safeguarding, we may
conduct an online search for shortlisted candidates to ensure
suitability for working with children and young people.
