Are you passionate about making a real difference in the world? Do you want to leverage your skills to combat homelessness for children and young people? Then we have the perfect opportunity for you.
We are looking to recruit an Employment & Learning Advisor to progress a caseload of clients on their journey into meaningful and sustainable employment. This is an exciting role in our Employment and Learning team that will assist clients to make constructive choices and decisions in their agreed, person-centred action plans by coordinating a range of employment-focused provision through 1:1 interventions, workshops, courses, and supplementary training opportunities.
You will also identify, develop and maintain external relationships and partnerships with relevant organisations, employers, and training providers and work alongside your line manager to deliver a comprehensive learning and employment service, that meets client need, delivered in line with the organisation’s strategic aims, objectives, and outcomes-based approach. The role is pivotal in order to reach the Centre’s ultimate goal of helping people achieve greater resilience and wellbeing.
Please refer to the job description for further information.
To apply, please submit a CV, cover letter and criminal record declaration form. The criminal record declaration form can be found in the job advert on our wesbite. In your cover letter please outline how you meet the requirements of the role, why you would like to work for us and address the following two questions:
1. Can you give examples of any employment and learning advice work you have been involved in with young people 16+ and what approach did you use? (max. 300 words)
2. Can you give examples of any employment and learning advice work you have been involved in with asylum seekers and refugees and what approach did you use? (max. 300 words)
Please note that this role is a client facing role, therefore, you will be required to be predominantly based at the Centre. There may be the option to work from home up to 2 days per week as per service needs and with prior agreement from your line manager.
