Dorset Community Action’s mission is to bring people together to develop community based solutions that deliver better services for Dorset’s communities, through:

• A Thriving Voluntary and Community Sector
• More local jobs / community enterprises
• Affordable housing
• Community Driven Health and Social Care

DCA has been successfully delivering a NEET prevention programme throughout the BCP and Dorset Council areas. The post holder will work 1-2-1 and in groups, with young people identified as being in danger of becoming NEET, to coach them overcoming barriers, setting and achieving personal goals in education and employment and engaging with community based initiatives to keep them engaged in education.

DCA has also set up a Supported Employment Project, coaching and employing SEND young people to undertake garden maintenance and clearance service (DCA GreenCare) for housing associations, private homeowners and SEND schools.

Having tested both of these delivery models, we are now looking to scale up these services to increase our trading and contract income, to enable us to support more young people through these programmes.

The person appointed to this position will be responsible for supporting the development and delivery of these two work programmes.
