You will be a dynamic, responsive and customer focused individual who can deliver results for the individuals and employers that we work with. You will be committed to partnership working supporting to embed the service with key partners via our network of Working Well Hubs.
Alongside managing a caseload, you will undertake job coaching with young people on work placements and source and engage with local employers to secure employment opportunities, apprenticeships and work placements for our clients. You will ensure employer expectations are met in providing talented, skilled and enthusiastic candidates for their vacancies.
You will need to be able to:
- Be a ‘Job Coach’ to jobseekers to prepare them for work and assist them through recruitment processes and into sustainable employment.
- Effectively manage a client caseload using a ‘person-centred’ approach to help them progress towards their desired goals.
- Work with colleagues to develop a base of employer contacts and strong personal relationships to source any potential vacancies.
- Source and secure real job opportunities, apprenticeships and work placements for your jobseeker caseload and the wider team.

- Provide data and monitoring information to the Programme Manager and as required by our funders and partners.
The successful candidates will have excellent organisational and record management skills in order to document all interactions and progression accurately with attention to detail to meet the obligations within our funding. If you think you have the personality and initiative to help move residents forward towards employment in terms of sociability, confidence, skills and abilities then get in touch. You will be helping service users to deal with their own personal challenges and support their journey towards and into work in a systematic yet creative way.
