Our Kickstart Support service

At Kick start support we are looking to offer a hand to companies looking to utilise the Kickstart scheme. Under this giant fiscal policy, employers can offer a 6-month fully funded work placement to a young person aged 16-24. We give all organisations, large and small, the chance to make the most of Kickstart, regardless of the barriers to entry. The scheme not only supports additional resources on the long road back from COVID but offers access to young enthusiastic talent!

The Kickstart Scheme

6 month paid for work placement, amounting to a total package worth up to £6,500 for each new 18-24 year old you take on while the scheme is in operation, made up of: 

• Full funding for 100% of the relevant National Minimum Wage for 25 hours a week (you only pay the difference in hourly rate or additional hours)

• Full funding for Employers National Insurance on the funded wage element

• Employer minimum automatic enrolment pension contributions on the funded wage element

What we offer

• Established Kickstart program approved by The Department of Work and Pensions 

• Full administration of the scheme for the duration of the placement so you don't have to

• Management of grant claims, national insurance, pension contributions, pay roll and associated HR

• Filtering and interviewing potential candidates 

• Support from an account manager throughout the placement term

• Advice on how to best utilise the scheme and how to end the placement or further employment opportunities
