Pure Insight is a charity that has been established since 2013 as a direct response to issues highlighted by young people leaving care.

The role of the Employment Coach is to secure paid employment for young care leavers within agreed timescales through a process of profiling, job matching, sales techniques, training, and monitoring. In addition to this you will support care experienced young people to access education, training, and volunteering opportunities through external schemes and proactively sourcing with external providers.

As part of your role working to support young care leavers it is imperative that you work to establish a trusting relationship with the young person and address any barriers directly or through referrals to other agencies that are stopping the young person from progressing into EET.

Sustaining employment, education or training requires ongoing support through regular reviews, providing training to employers, identifying reasonable adjustments and most importantly encouragement.
