Haddington Bridge Centre Motorcycle Project
The Bridge Centre Motorcycle Project (BCMP) is a charitable organisation, operating as
a part of The Haddington Bridge Centre Ltd. The Project was first established in 1990.
BCMP works with young people aged from 11 to 24 and is designed to work with individuals who have a wide range of
additional support needs by using off road motorcycles and team building games/exercises as mediums to engage
them. The work is ultimately aimed at promoting inclusion and social welfare.
The 3 main types of work undertaken at the Project are:
• Group Work Programmes
(Educational Support Programmes)
• 1-2-1 Programmes
(Individual Placements)
• Open Access Club
BCMP Works with young people individually or in small groups to develop confidence, supporting them to challenge
themselves and work towards exciting and achievable goals, while learning new life skills.
The Project works with Secondary Schools and other partnering youth agencies/organisations with the aim of
identifying young people who would benefit from taking part in an Educational Support Programme. The Project
also works with referred young people who are not so suited to participating in group work, on a 1-1 basis.
In addition, the Project runs an open access club for young people aged 11-16 to join. This part of the Project
allows self-referred young people to learn the skills and techniques of off-road motorcycling in a safe
environment.
The Project requires an enthusiastic, organised and highly motivated individual with significant Youth / Support work
experience to join the Motorcycle Project staff team. The post will be fixed term for one year in the first
instance.
The successful candidate will be required to work as part of an existing team for a well-established youth Motorcycle
Project and will be given full training. We work closely with local schools and youth agencies to provide group
work and 1-1 programmes for young people. The Project uses off road motorcycles and group work activities to
focus and engage young people.
