GLASGOW is home to a brand new temporary job centre, helping dozens of young people back into work.

Job coaches at the Ibrox youth hub say they feel like they are "changing lives" by supporting people back into employment.

James Savage, who works at the centre said: "I love my job; I feel like I’m changing lives here. I work to get to know the young people on my caseload at more personal level.

"I learn of their barriers and their ambitions, pull on my life experience without passing any judgment.

"This allows the young person to open up more and we can work together to address the barriers and move them to a positive destination.

"This may be working with another provider, working with our trauma counsellor service, practice interviews to prepare them."

Ibrox comes as part of a UK Government campaign to get 500,000 people a job by the end of June. The Department for Work and Pensions have rapidly recruited 13,500 new work coaches to provide face-to-face coaching to move into employment.

Minister for Employment, Mims Davies MP, said: “Our team of Work Coaches in jobcentres and Youth Hubs across Scotland are at the forefront of efforts to help people prepare for employment, move into work and increase their earnings. 

“From its world-famous whisky production to careers in the thriving cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, Scotland is home to a diverse range of fantastic job opportunities. 

“The new sites are levelling up opportunity by giving claimants of all ages more face-to-face, tailored help to get into work or progress in their career.” 

 UK Government Minister for Scotland, Iain Stewart, said: “It’s great news that these jobcentres and Youth Hubs have opened across Scotland, with even more set to open their doors in the coming months.

"They will help jobseekers back into work and support young people to take those first crucial steps in their careers. 

“Payrolled employees in Scotland are increasing at a greater monthly percentage than anywhere else in the UK, but there’s still work to be done to match more people with jobs in the sectors that need them most.”
