Employability Support Buddy (Dunfermline)

Fife International Forum
VO102644

Do you want to support New Scots on their employability journey? Come and join Fife International Forum at Pre-Academy, a 6 week employability programme which supports migrants and refugees to build valuable skills and experience for the workplace. Participants engage in a person-centred programme led by experienced facilitators, which builds confidence, resilience and knowledge. You will have the opportunity to support people with their learning, help people to feel included and engaged, assist the facilitators and carry out basic IT support. Language skills are welcome but not essential.

Experience required

Individuals must be patient, compassionate and friendly, and enjoy meeting and talking to new people. If you are fluent in a language other than English this is a bonus, as they work with people from a wide variety of backgrounds.

Travel details

This opportunity takes place in 6 week blocks throughout the year, and is based at Dunfermline Abbey Church Halls (6 Abbey Park Place, KY12 7PD) on Mondays and Wednesdays between 09.30 and 15.00.

Travel expenses

Expenses are reimbursed on a monthly basis. They pay public transport rates and a standard mileage rate of 45p per mile.

The induction takes place in person at Fife International Forum’s base in the Mercat shopping centre in Kirkcaldy or somewhere more convenient, and will take between 1 and 1.5 hours. Once you are an active volunteer, volunteer supervisions are undertaken regularly by the volunteer coordinator who will be your main point of contact, to make sure that you feel supported and fulfilled in your role.
