What will the role look like?

They will work on identifying and managing the barriers that have led them to being economically inactive, such as time out through parental responsibilities, physical and mental health issues or having left the workforce prematurely e.g. through early retirement. They will help people overcome barriers and identify pathways back to employment for example through education, training or directly helping them get back into work. What we are looking for? Experience of working with families with multiple or complex needs is a must.
