 About Shaw Trust  

At Shaw Trust we believe everyone has the right to live a decent and dignified life and an opportunity for rewarding work. We are a social purpose organisation challenging inequality and breaking down barriers to enable social mobility.

Having grown from humble beginnings in 1982 in the village of Shaw in Wiltshire, finding jobs for disabled people, today we are a complex and diverse charity committed to employment as the core pathway to a better life.  For us being part of the solution is about creating the conditions for this to happen, advocating and delivering services that make a real difference. Working in partnership not competition, we are part of an eco-system of purpose-led organisations, striving for a fairer, more equal society centred on opportunity for all.

 

Role Purpose

The Gloucestershire GEM (Going the Extra Mile) Project is jointly funded by the National Lottery Community Fund and the European Social Fund

 

This exciting project focuses on people who face challenges in getting into work, and supports them to move closer towards education, training, volunteering or employment.  The target group will be young people aged 16 – 25.

 

The GEM Project is managed by Gloucestershire Gateway Trust (GGT) on behalf of Gloucestershire County Council. The project is delivered by GEM Delivery Partners and, as one of those Partners, we wish to recruit a Navigator Developer.   The Post is fixed term until 31 August 2022.

 

The Navigator Developer role, funded by the Gloucestershire GEM Project, will provide intensive day to day 1:2:1 support to GEM Project participants engaged through both its own activities and that of partners, to build their stability, confidence, motivation and readiness to learn, and ultimately move them into or closer towards education, training, volunteering or work, including self-employment.
