Kickstart Scheme
Lincolnshire Co-op will be recruiting 30 eligible young people to take on new roles across Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, and Newark.
Working with The Prince's Trust, we've signed up to take part in the government's Kickstart Scheme, which aims to help young people find paid work experience and improve their employability.
Participants will be working 25 hours per week during their six-month placement, with the possibility of a permanent position upon successful completion of the scheme. A variety of roles are available including Customer Services Assistant, Pharmacy Warehouse Assistant at Maltby's Warehouse, and Bakery Assistant at Gadsby’s Bakery. Those participating will also receive mentoring support, training, and access to online courses.
