• An interest in helping women achieve their employment goals
• Reliability and a willingness to commit to approximately two days per month, where possible
• Confidence working with people from a range of backgrounds and experiences

Previous experience in recruitment, coaching, HR, or employability support can be helpful but is not essential. Full training and ongoing support will be provided.

• Ongoing training and support from an experienced charity
