Christian Griffiths

Hi, I’m Christian, Project Worker for the JOBS project in Bristol.

I have a proven background in the tertiary education sector as a Teacher and in a managerial capacity. I have supported and uplifted people from all backgrounds over the last 15 years. I’m hoping to use this experience to have a positive impact in my role at Barnardo’s.

I was up until recently a keen rugby player and now coach a senior and junior rugby team. I’m also a musician and perform in a band.

Expansion of The JOBS Project

We are pleased to announce that our NEW London Jobs project site is now up and running. The new location is situated in Crystal Palace and straddles the boundaries of five London Boroughs: Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark, and Lewisham. We are looking forward to supporting and building connections in the area with referral partners and employers to continue to support young people into employment.

The JOBS Project

Are you aged between 18 and 29 and not in education, employment or training?

The JOBS Project is a 10 week employability programme which will give you all the skills and knowledge you need to get a job.  On completion of the course you will receive a certificate.

The JOBS Project is working in partnership with Amazon.

Our programme will support you in writing a CV and you will learn interview skills, effective team working skills, communication skills, time management, problem solving and resilience. We will provide continued support as you make the transition into work.  All successful candidates will be guaranteed and interview at the end of the programme.*

Attendance is required three days a week.  All course materials are provided free of charge. Reasonable travel and lunch costs will be reimbursed to you weekly.

The JOBS Project has dates running through 2024 and 2025 in Birmingham, Bristol, Coventry, Dartford, Dunfermline, Gateshead, London, Manchester, Stockton and Swansea.
