Engaging & Supporting Inactives
Opportunity Brokerage role -This project will build upon our existing work with an Opportunities Broker for children in care and care leavers. We'll recruit two new Opportunities Brokers, who will adopt a dual approach to empowering individuals and connecting them with employment. Through these new roles our primary focus for targeting families will be through our developing SEND Family Hub and our broader Family Hub network, known locally as Raise York. These brokers will work holistically with individuals, taking the time to understand their specific barriers to employment, their aspirations, and then providing tailored support to help them progress towards returning to work. This will not take the form of careers advice but working relationally as part of a team around a family to address the multiple and connected barriers to employment.	120,000
