Employment Support
Part Time Employment Advisor Part-Time
We’re recruiting for two part-time Employment Advisors to join a forward-thinking charity delivering employment support across Shepherd’s Bush and Hammersmith & Fulham. These are fixed-term contracts running until mid-October, with an anticipated start date in early June.
The charity is delivering services as part of a DPS (Dynamic Purchasing System) employment contract, responding to local Jobcentre Plus demand for additional support for long-term unemployed individuals in the area.
What you’ll be doing:
- Conducting initial appointments with participants at the Jobcentre.
- Delivering follow-up 1:1 sessions in community settings such as libraries and community centres.
- Managing a caseload of 20 job seekers, with the aim of supporting 10 individuals into paid employment over the contract period.
- Providing tailored employability advice, including CV writing, job searching, interview preparation, and better-off-in-work calculations.
This is a community- and office-based role (remote or hybrid working is not available). Your part-time hours will need to fall within the Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm window—no evenings or weekends required. There is flexibility in how you structure your week: for example, you could work over four full days or five shorter days.
Who we’re looking for:
You’ll need prior experience supporting people back into work in a similar role—perhaps as an Employment Advisor, Work Coach, Job Coach, Careers Advisor, or Employment Consultant.
How to apply:
Please apply via this advert—we aim to respond to every applicant.
