An exciting opportunity has arisen for a suitably experienced and qualified candidate to join The Huddersfield Town Foundation in the role of Steps to Success Mentor.

The Steps to Success programme is a collaborative pilot project between The Huddersfield Town Foundation and secondary schools in the Kirklees area. The project’s aim is to provide opportunities for learning and life skills that enable disengaged young people to fulfil their potential, both personally and academically, regardless of background or ability.

If you enjoy working with young people and you have well-developed skills in influencing others to make positive choices, this role could be for you. Candidates must have recent experience of working in a secondary school or other youth setting and proven experience of planning and delivering interventions in a range of areas, including behaviour, attendance and education.
Applicants must be educated to a minimum of GCSE level or equivalent including Maths and English at grades A*-C (or 9-4) and hold both a current First Aid certificate, and a Safeguarding children qualification. Candidates must have a positive and professional attitude, be both tenacious and resilient, and have excellent interpersonal skills to be able to perform well in this role.
