You will be responsible for:
1. Identifying participants' goals, aspirations, and barriers to employment - facilitating appropriate short and long-term solutions and interventions as required.

3. Identifying appropriate internal and external contacts to build, develop, and maintain relationships as a source of referrals for participants.
4. Establishing and managing relationships with employers, following up with both participants and the employer to gain interviews and ensure a smooth transition into employment and beyond.
Accurate and timely recording and review (for completion and completeness) of all participant details and requirements for every intervention is also required.
Due to the nature of the post, the successful candidate will be subject to a disclosure by the Disclosure and Barring Service.
This role offers flexible working options for a work-life balance. This can include adjusting your working day and hybrid working, i.e., a balance of office and home working.
