Circle Community is a charity based in three of London’s most deprived areas: Hackney and Lewisham, and now Canary Wharf. We believe that every young person who would like to work should be given the opportunity to do so. We support unemployed young people experiencing multiple disadvantages and barriers in order for them to secure sustainable employment in an industry they care about. Circle collective hold a weekly job club at our offices in Dalston which takes place between 11::00 and 14:00 every Wednesday. This is the time in the week that we meet with young people on the Circle Collective programme and support them with developing their CVs and applying for jobs. Volunteers will sit down individually with the young people attending the session and help them apply for jobs. This will include, helping look online for suitable roles, helping to develop their CVs, writing cover letters, and preparing for interviews. There will always be a job coach present at the session, so you will never be expected to be running the session alone.
