<p>Companies looking to offer roles to fewer than 30 Kickstart applicants are still
able to benefit from Kickstart by joining a bid made by an intermediary organisation.
Intermediaries can gather employers keen to offer Kickstart jobs to make a collective
bid of 30 or more vacancies. Smaller employers will have support from the intermediary
to create high quality roles and additional support so that young people get the most
out of their placement, this also reduces the administrative burden falling on the
small employer. The Department has received significant interest from a wide range
of bodies including local authorities, charities and trade/industry bodies looking
to become intermediaries.</p><p> </p><p>If a small employer is unable to qualify for
Kickstart funding, for example because the job is not additional, they can take advantage
of a number of other schemes, such as apprenticeships, available to young people.
Your local Job Centre Plus is able to recommend the best schemes available in the
area.</p>
