This programme offers unemployed people, with barriers to employment, an opportunity to gain paid work experience with the chance of progressing to further employment.
Environment:
Starting in August, you will take a role within a department or school in the City of Edinburgh Council. We can offer different placement opportunities across the Council.

These are just examples. Your role could be manual or desk based. It could be outdoor or indoor. It could involve working with people every day or could be a hybrid role where you work from home. There are many different teams and types of work across the Council, and we want to hear what interests you. Your application will help us find the right placement for you.
What might a day in this role look like?
Our team will work with you to decide upon a suitable placement. You will be assigned a mentor from our team and meet your placement manager. You will be offered training where needed and will grow into your role. By the middle of the placement, your duties should be those of any other member of staff.
What will I learn?
You will experience paid work, gain knowledge and skills, and a reference. Our team will support you during your placement with regular check-ins and reviews. We will support you to apply for jobs when the placement comes to an end, either within the Council or elsewhere.
