The role

Many of our Spear trainees have faced significant barriers to finding work, including family breakdown, growing up in care, disability or mental health difficulties, having been involved in crime, or really struggling at school.

We believe that being out of work can lead to isolation and proliferate these challenges, meaningful work is key in helping young people find a sense of purpose and community. We're proud that the coaching and community that the Spear Programme provides makes such a difference that 75% of those who take part find work, and are still in work a year later.

We are looking for coaches to work as part of Spear centres that are run in partnership with churches around the country, delivering the Spear Programme to 16-24 year olds, equipping and empowering them to overcome the barriers they face and turn their lives around.

Not only will you be part of bringing about powerful change in people's lives, but throughout this paid, dynamic, one-year opportunity, you'll be supported and challenged. We'll invest in you, developing expert coaching and leadership skills to set you on a great career path.

Coach 16-24 year olds, bringing about powerful change in their lives
Build great relationships with relevant professionals
