An employability measure could be helping them to write a CV, prepare a cover letter, write a disclosure letter, interview preparation and job searching. A support measure could be signposting them to a housing provider, debt management support or an educational programme.
Please note, whilst this is a permanent role, the contract is currently being re-tendered. So, if the charity is not awarded the contract, you might be tupe transferred to the provider that has won the contract (but this is not guaranteed).
