The jobs should enable the employee to build up skills that will lead to sustainable employment and should be paid at the normal rate for similar jobs and with the same frequency (see note 6 below). b. The Grant funding will be used by the Grant Recipient to provide new jobs. The jobs must not: • replace existing or planned vacancies; or • cause existing employees, workers, apprentices or contractors to lose work or reduce their working hours. c. All Kickstart Scheme jobs must be accompanied by a written job description, setting out the purpose, start date and responsibilities of the position. d.

Employment opportunities offered by the Grant Recipient should not require Participants to undertake extensive training (either classroom or online) before they begin the job or at any point during the six months. For example, if a significant part of the job involves completing a training course or watching training videos, this would not constitute meaningful work or be equivalent to a job not funded by the Kickstart Scheme. f. The Grant Recipient will use the Grant to provide employability support to Participants and help Participants to develop work skills. • Employability support includes on-the-job training, work search support, transferrable skills development, mentoring, careers advice and other related support to help the Participants find sustained employment after they have completed their Kickstart Scheme jobs. • Helping Participants to develop and build work skills includes developing attendance management, timekeeping, teamwork and communication skills as appropriate. g.
