Derby County Community Trust has a clear mission.  We harness the power of Derby County Football Club to improve lives and communities through sport, physical activity, health and education.  We help more than 25,000 people per year and our work is recognised and respected at regional and national levels.  Since 2008 we have been encouraging participation and achievement in sport, improving health and wellbeing, providing and enhancing education and promoting equality and diversity.

We care about our community; we care about our people.  We’re looking for a King’s Trust ‘Team’ Programme Leader to lead on the successful delivery of the King’s Trust ‘Team’ Programme. 

We are working in partnership with the King’s Trust to deliver the ‘Team’ programme in Derbyshire.  The programme is specifically designed to engage with 16-25 year olds who are not in education, employment or training (NEETs). It provides a 12 week pathway that combines structured team-based learning and individual work placements giving individuals an opportunity to re-engage in learning and participate in community projects. 

We are looking for a passionate and proactive individual to support in developing and delivering the programme. The successful candidate will be expected to build strong relationships with partner organisations to recruit individuals to the training course. A key element of the role is to deliver a 12 week interactive learning programme, track progression and milestone by collecting data and produce comprehensive reports at the end of each cohort. 

You will be expected to support in the growth of the programme and ensure its successful delivery as it expands across Derbyshire, strengthening key partnerships and helping to maximise the opportunities available to young people. 

Along with experience of delivering educational based programmes to young people, you will possess excellent time management and communication skills.  You will be passionate, proactive and able to encourage positive engagement from young people. 

Our values underpin everything we deliver as a charity and you will be responsible for modelling these values through yourself and your work.   

In return we can offer:

• Workplace pension scheme
• Cash Health Plan including 24 hour EAP, GP service, health related discounts and a discount shopping scheme
• Life Assurance scheme (minimum 3x salary benefits)
• Annual leave of 20 days per year (excluding bank holidays), increasing each year to a maximum of 25 days per year (pro-rata)
• Christmas Shutdown (in addition to annual leave)
• Training & Development opportunities
• Complimentary season tickets for Derby County Football Club (x2 tickets)
