We are looking for our next kickstarter. If you are a young person on universal credit, why not get involved with The Key, a charity supporting young people to complete projects that matter to them.

The role is for 25 hours per week at National Minimum Wage and will generally be 5 hours per day, Monday to Friday, but this is negotiable.
