Careers
Careers at the Skills Development Centre are fulfilling and interesting. We work with people of all abilities and aim to achieve the highest possible opportunities for all. The charity encourages employees and volunteers from all walks of life and different cultures. It does this as it is felt that with the client group served, the support team needs to reflect the needs of its service users.
Working at the Skills Development Centre training for its staff/support team is highly encouraged. Besides the joy of working with people with (dis)abilities, the charity continues to invest in its innovative service and actively motivates all team members to bring forward new ideas. Being an independent charity, this allows for a quick response to the ever changing needs of its service-users.
The Skills Development Centre also actively encourages a better understanding of disability awareness. Besides extensive community participation for it's service-users, the charity welcomes work and study experience students from all over London and beyond.
Work & Study Experience
The Skills Development Centre has also been extremely lucky to have met and offered placements to people who may have been undecided on their career path or not who may not have worked for some time. In many of these cases the charity has been able to assist in building the confidence of those individuals and encourage further training, a career change or re-employment.
If you would like to find out more about what we as a community have to offer volunteers,
please do not hesitate to contact Naheed or Betty (you will find our contact details on the contact page of this website). For those of you that are considering a career change, please look in our 'jobs' section on this website for voluntary positions.
Our clients are now looking for work experience within the local area. If as an employer you feel you could offer a placement however small then please give us a ring. We are a fun loving group whom enjoy a good laugh and a sense of belonging being a part of a team is what we are about. We have varying skills and so I am sure we could fill that niche!
