Coordinator - Homeless employment programme
Bikeworks has secured investment funding to start up a new employment / training programme for homeless people. The programme will enable homeless individuals to become skilled and accredited cycle trainers and mechanics as well as wider job skills gaining employment in Bikeworks itself and supporting them into the wider employment market.
About the role:
A project coordinator is required to develop & manage the programme supporting the participants during their placements at Bikeworks as individuals and as a group, helping them to move on into employment & further training where appropriate, building & managing partnerships with relevant organisations in the homeless and employment sectors as key facets of the programme.
In the first instance the post is advertised on a part time basis for three
days per week. As the programme develops there is potential for it to become
full time. For those wishing to work full time there may be opportunities
to work additional hours in another capacity (e.g as a cycle trainer)
As a small organisation work will necessarily involve flexibility and the
ability to work in other areas as required.
Application details:
Start date: asap
Salary: £26 500 per annum pro rata
Hours: Part time – 3 days (21 hours per week). Potential to become full
time or work additional hours in a different capacity.

Volunteer Positions
Bikeworks provides employment opportunities and work placement schemes to long term unemployed and disabled Tower Hamlets residents. Bikeworks operate as an 'intermediate labour market', this means we offer work opportunities to those residents who would not be able to begin, or sustain mainstream employment without intensive support.
By providing these supported opportunities at Bikeworks, we can offer a real employment experience, accredited training and a work reference. This opportunity is important for those people who have been isolated from the work place for a long time and for those that have little or no work experience.
