About TLC

Transform Lives Company (TLC) think it’s a crying shame that there are still many people a long way from meaningful, fulfilling lives, with work or without. So, they 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. Their developmental support really is life changing.

They have shown the effectiveness of their approach and the positive outcomes it brings through their award-winning "GiveGetGo" programme, developed with the University of Liverpool. They work with partners looking to collaborate to bring about social action beyond their core purpose. Their approach is truly person-centred. They start with kindness, understanding the difficult situations many people find themselves in.

Job Description
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.
