Employ young people for FREE through the Kickstart scheme

If your business needs an extra pair of hands - give a placement to a young person and the government will fully fund it.


Through the scheme, you’ll be able to access a large pool of young people with potential, ready for an opportunity to begin their career journey.


As an approved Kickstart Gateway we are here to make it easy for SME employers to access and benefit from the Government Kickstart scheme.

What is the Kickstart Scheme

The Kickstart Scheme helps employers, by providing funding for them to create job placements for 16 to 24 year olds.


The Government will pay:


  • 100% of National Minimum Wage for 25 hours per week for a total of 6 months
  • Associated employer NI contributions
  • Employer minimum automatic enrolment contributions
  • £1,500 grant per placement.
