About TLC

We think it’s a crying shame that there are still many people a long way from meaningful, fulfilling lives, with work or without. So, we set about changing that.

Transform Lives Company is an established social enterprise [working in the North-West] dedicated to not just transforming people’s lives but transforming the way we can do this. Our developmental support really is life changing. We have shown the effectiveness of our approach and the positive outcomes it brings through our award-winning GiveGetGo programme, developed with the University of Liverpool. We work with partners looking to collaborate to bring about social action beyond their core purpose. Our approach is truly person-centred. We start with kindness, understanding the difficult situations many people find themselves in.

Main Role

To co-ordinate and promote and run community engagement activities to encourage unemployed people who are not currently in paid employment, to connect, participate and progress on to training, coaching, employability or work-related support such as placements and volunteering. This is a team and a place where you can shine, where you can exercise your knowledge and experience.

1. Design, deliver, review and continually improve a programme of interesting and varied engagement activities in community settings, for people to connect with, enjoy, and grow in confidence

2. Be creative, making activities a great, enriching, relevant experience for all those involved. Activities could be an hour, or half a day, one off or over a few weeks: we are open to ideas, your skills, connections and repeating the things that work, ditching the things that don’t.

3. Actively promote TLC across community settings, so that people are aware of our work and how we can support them

4. Plan all logistics and deliver activities that help people take part. We know we will meet people who are struggling with their mental health, they’ve been referred to us by their GP, through social prescribing or other local groups. You will be co-ordinating the activity, bringing in our trained coaches to provide more in-depth support, linking to other organisations, or arrange links with wellbeing activities that exist in other organisations. The aim is that people from all backgrounds and situations in life will have somewhere they can reflect, build new confidence, learn techniques that support them every day.

5. Apply the data collection and review processed we need; you will be shown how.

Your Talents:

1. You have experience of talking to people in many varied settings and you are comfortable with striking up conversations, confident in creating a safe and productive space for people to step in to, physically and emotionally

2. You’re confident using a range of tools that promote inclusion; you’re not scared to throw yourself into learn new ones.

3. Your motivation is routed in social impact, fairness and creating opportunity for people to step forward positively

4. You’re a great communicator, love meeting new people and getting to know them. We could need people for venues across Liverpool’s 6 boroughs, but especially Halton.

What you can expect from us:

Our training and help to deliver successfully.

A coach and a wider you can talk to along the way. You won’t be ‘left to it’…

A chance to work on things that matter.

A chance to develop and learn new skills as well as apply yours so others can benefit.

A supportive and collaborative team culture.

Funded Health Shield membership.

25 days annual leave, pro rata.
