We’re recruiting a Careers Adviser to join our In‑Custody Information, Advice and Guidance team. If you’re passionate about helping people, we’d love to hear from you!
Working in custody, you’ll support our participants by providing career advice and guidance and helping them explore their learning and employment options in preparation for life in the community. You’ll use a variety of delivery methods, including coordinating job fairs or sector‑specific talks, plus visits from employers or motivational speakers.
We’ll need your excellent communication skills as you encourage participant engagement and form positive relationships with those you are supporting. You’ll also help build confidence and break down barriers.

Our ideal candidate will have experience in delivering careers advice and, primarily, an engaging personality, comfortable working with a diverse group of people and able to provide a warm and welcoming experience whilst helping participants take their first steps back into learning or employment.
This is a rewarding role that will allow you to utilise your current skills to influence, support and encourage others to build a better future.
