Argyle Community Trust is the official charity of Plymouth Argyle Football Club and delivers a wide range of education, employability, health and community programmes across Devon and Cornwall.

Due to the continued growth of our education and employability provision, we are seeking to appoint a Youth Employment Hub Co-ordinator based at The Hub at Foulston Park, Devonport.

The Youth Employment Hub will act as a local access point for young people and adults seeking education, employment, training and personal development opportunities. The role will focus on coordinating skills provision, supporting individuals into positive pathways, and working collaboratively with partners including colleges, training providers, employers and local agencies.

The post holder will play a key role in engaging individuals who may be at risk of becoming disengaged from education or employment, helping them to access opportunities such as:
Education and training programmes
Apprenticeships
Employment opportunities
Employability skills development
Personal development and life skills programmes

The Youth Employment Coordinator will support the delivery of the Employment Hub by engaging participants, identifying progression routes and working closely with the Trust’s education, employability and apprenticeship teams. A key focus of the role will be building strong relationships with local employers, promoting live job vacancies, and coordinating employer engagement activities including skills workshops, drop-in advice sessions, mock interviews and careers events.

The postholder will help ensure participants gain direct exposure to employers and real employment opportunities, supporting progression into sustained education, training and work while contributing to the wider community impact of Argyle Community Trust.
