Become an employer

Community Jobs Scotland (CJS) brings together a diverse range of employers from across Scotland’s voluntary sector, including large household name charities to small community groups. What CJS employers have in common is their ability to support young people into employment and improve communities.

“93% of supervisors and line managers think CJS is a ‘very good’ or ‘good’ voluntary sector organisation development programme.”
We’re looking for quality employers who care about their staff and have the capacity to mentor someone who is new to the world of work or who needs a bit of extra support.

Our employers must commit to providing a high quality package of support, including:

  • an induction
  • on-the job training
  • support and supervision
  • job search support
  • an ongoing focus on assisting the individual into lasting employment

*Please note: we are not currently accepting new employer registrations*
