Personal Development Mentor (Temporary) – Edinburgh

Apex Scotland is the leading employment and training organisation specialising in work with people with convictions.

We have secured funding through European Social Fund’s National Third Sector Fund.  We are now looking to recruit a temporary Personal Development Mentor to help deliver this employability service covering the Edinburgh area.  Apex Scotland offers a diverse range of services for young people and adults to help them break down barriers to employment and engage in education, employment or community activities.  We also work in partnership with many organisations in the Edinburgh area.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and dynamic individual who has effective communication skills and an understanding of the nature of issues that unemployed individuals may present with.  The right candidate will have an aptitude for developing and delivering innovative group sessions and the ability to engage with service users on a one to one basis to assist them to overcome barriers to progression.  An understanding of local employability pipelines would be an advantage, as would knowledge of the network of support agencies in the area.  We envisage this post holder being based from the offices of Apex Scotland or our partner agencies.  You would need to demonstrate flexibility and the ability to deal with targets.  Some travel may be required therefore a driving licence or access to a means of transport would be an advantage.

Training will be given, however for this post you should be able to demonstrate good communication skills, be approachable and compassionate and have knowledge or experience of employability.  Experience of working to deadlines and targets is desirable.  A keen eye for detail and understanding of good record keeping is essential as information is recorded in paper files and on our database.  This service is currently funded until 30 June 2019 with possible extension.  This post is offered to 30 June 2019.  Part time or job share applications will be considered.

In view of the nature of this post and the requirement to work with vulnerable adults the post holder will be required to join the relevant PVG scheme.

I have enjoyed each session. Some days I didn’t want to leave the house but the thought of going to the Apex group made me get up and go out.
