Reporting to the External Funding Programme Officer, the team of Mentors will engage with, assess, mentor and proactively support a wide range of short term unemployed, economically inactive and long term unemployed Workways+ and Swansea Working project participants aged 25 and over, who have complex barriers to employment in order to assist them with gaining sustainable employment or with entry into work experience or volunteering opportunities and where appropriate signposting to relevant specialist agencies.
