Employment Advisor – REF: MA398 Permanent

WHO WILL I BE WORKING FOR?

You will be joining a national charity who fund their own employment programmes.

They are looking for 2 people.  The focus is all about supporting the job seeker on their terms.  They look after their staff (your manager was previously doing your job only a few years ago and has since been promoted).  You will be joining a really supportive team (great team socials).  And this will be a 50-50 split between work and home.  You will also get 27 days holiday (plus bank hols).

This is a 100% online / remote employment support service.  Its been really successful, and was around pre-covid.  You will work with a caseload of clients over 12 weeks.  All the clients self refer onto the programme, but must have a disability (which can be self-diagnosed).  Typical day to day tasks include:

• Assisting with CV writing, cover letters and interview preparation.
• Understanding your clients and working together to build SMART action plans as well as breaking down any initial barriers that they may have.
• Provide a personable experience and checking in on their activity but also providing them with useful job boards to get them started.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We are looking for not 1 but 2 candidates who have experience or a good standard of knowledge within the employability sector. So, if you have worked as an employment advisor, employment coach or even a careers advisor, then we would really like too here from you.  If you feel you have been in a similar role and it is not mentioned, then please also reach out and apply.
