New This Month

So, I’m guessing you’re here because you've applied for some funding via the Kickstart Scheme and now you need a contract template to send to them.   

If so, let me tell you a bit more about this Kickstart Contract Template and why this is a great investment for your business.  

WHAT'S THE KICKSTART SCHEME?

The Kickstart Scheme is a £2 billion fund to create hundreds of thousands of high quality 6-month work placements for young people, fully funded by the Government. So, you can have people work for you, and receive funding from the Goverment to pay for it. 

However, there are a few stipulations which employers need to adhere to in order to receive the wage subsidy. The Kickstart Scheme job placements must: 

• Last six months 
• Be at least 25 hours per week (employers can top-up wages if the role is over this) 
• Include support for young people to help them get work after they finish their Kickstart Scheme job (if not taken on longer term following the placement) 
• Be ‘additional’ – this means the job would not exist without Kickstart Scheme grant funding and must not replace existing/planned jobs or cause existing employers or contractors to reduce their employment.  

WHY YOU NEED TO HAVE A CONTRACT FOR KICKSTART WORK PLACEMENT?

Well firstly, it's the law and part of the Kickstart Rules.

Since 1 April 2020, you have to give all new employees a contract on their first working day. Plus, on a purely practical level, it ensures that they know what is expected of them and what they are getting from you, i.e. their hours of work, holidays etc.

But, another important reason is that if things ever did go sour with your employee, this is the number one document that can make or break your business.

WHAT YOU'LL GET

👉 My well-written and comprehensive job offer letter and Kickstart Contract Template, is instantly emailed to you in Microsoft Word format. It's 100% compliant with the laws of England and is designed to protect you and your business if things were ever to go horribly wrong. And when the law changes, and I update this template, you'll get the new version for free. 

👉 Plus, you'll get my easy-peasy instructions on how to personalise your contract, along with notes and FAQs. These explain the very important clauses and how they’ll protect you – as well as how to send it your employee and what they need to do.

Being an entrepreneur and running a successful business is one thing. But being a CEO and managing a team of people is completely different.

Yet, many people get to this situation and don't have the skills needed to lead a team. And that's when things go terribly wrong. 

If you have a team now, but you never set out to have one, it can be difficult. Perhaps you feel like your team don't respect you or don't like you. Or maybe you feel completely out of your depth and lack the confidence or skills to lead your team. 

I've been there!

In my corporate career I went from being a sole contributor to managing a global team of 20 in the space of 18 months. And even though I am an HR professional with strong knowledge of how to lead people, the reality and complexity I faced was completely different. 

✅ Some people were older than me, and were jealous my success. 

✅ Some people were different to me 

✅ Some people were difficult and not up to the job

But, I invested in a leadership mentor to help me master the techniques I needed and really got to know myself and my team. I transformed my under-performing team into one that got results and I can share my techniques with you, so you can achieve this too. 

And since then I've worked with lots of business owners to help them do the sam
