We are currently recruiting for trainee advisers and have an

You can then complete an application pack.

You don't need any particular qualifications or experience to train as an adviser. All sorts of people are CAB advisers.
You need to be:
• good at listening,
• able to work as part of a team,
• willing to learn,
• able to read and write English and do basic maths,
• be open minded, be non-judgemental and

You don't need to know it all. We train you in the skills you need to deliver a high quality service to clients. Our up to the minute electronic information system contains most of the details you will need.

You won't be left alone, there will always be an experienced person to give you support, answer your questions and help you develop.
The training is thorough and is widely recognised for its quality. As a result, it requires a minimum of 2 days per week availability for at least 9-12 months.

We will be as flexible as possible to fit in with child care or other responsibilities.

TRAINING
START programme for young people (13-19 years)

About the START programme
START is a unique, industry-led training programme for young people from across West London. The programme delivers literacy and numeracy qualifications through imbedded performing arts.

Following an individual learning plan and initial assessment, young people will be supported in achieving a City
and Guilds Literacy qualification at level 1 or 2 equivalent to a GCSE in English on the National Qualifications
Framework.

Participants are introduced to a variety of skills including acting, dance, graffiti, and lyrics. Participants are
assigned a Peer Mentor and are supported by the Lyric's Creative Learning team and work towards a small
performance.

In partnership with the BBC, Connexions H & F and the Volunteers Centre, we provide each participant with supported progression pathways such as further education, volunteering opportunities, work experience
placements and apprenticeships.



When does the next START programme run?
Spring: April 1 – May 9, 12pm – 6pm
Summer: 21 July – 29 August, 12pm – 6pm

How does a young person find out more?
Give Serina a call for an informal interview and to book a place on the following:
Introductory drama sessions: Wednesdays 5, 12, 19 & 26 March, 2pm – 4pm
Taster day: March 10, 1.45pm – 3.30pm
