Kickstart Programme

The Kickstart Scheme provides paid 6-month job placements for 16 to 24 year olds on Universal Credit who are at risk of long term unemployment.

• Pay you 100% of the National Minimum Wage (or the National Living Wage depending on your age) for 25 hours per week for a total of 6 months
• Pay any associated employer National Insurance contributions
• Pay any employer minimum automatic enrolment contributions

You can start a placement anytime from now up until the end of December 2021.

This is a fantastic opportunity for you to gain a great start in work and to impress your employer whilst on placement.

Speak to your Job Centre Advisors or Coach about how to access this opportunity.
