OUR CLIENT
The charity aims to train people with learning disabilities to become employable via supported internships within a year. Work is provided in their recently built café as well as paid work elsewhere, mainly within hospitality and retail. Their office is based in the Amersham area and
they run the training café in Chorleywood which is open all year. The one-year internships lead to accredited qualifications for young adults who have a wide range of abilities.
THE ROLE
This is an exciting opportunity for someone with excellent interpersonal, organisational and management skills to provide inspirational and strong leadership to the management, wider teams and interns. You will oversee three managers to ensure all aspects of their roles are achieved.
