Referring a young person
We welcome referrals from organisations working with young people across Peterborough, including:
Charities and community groups
Local authorities and support services
Schools and colleges
Youth and outreach teams
If you are supporting a young person who could benefit from the BRDG Hub, we encourage you to refer them.

We will ensure that all our recruitment and selection practices reflect this commitment. All successful candidates will be subject to Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks along with other relevant employment checks.
We support employers to develop their people and their organisations. We strive to make a positive contribution to the prosperity and wellbeing of our diverse communities.
