Job Description
Who We Are
Fedcap UK (part of The Fedcap Group) is a not-for-profit organisation. Our mission is to improve economic mobility by unlocking opportunities that move the dial for individuals and communities. Internationally, Fedcap has nearly 90 years of experience, supporting over 245,000 people annually to help improve their economic well-being and their quality of life through education, health, employability and economic development practice areas.
Drawing on the experience and scale of the Fedcap Group, the UK delivers a growing portfolio of programmes, to deliver holistic solutions that meet local and national priorities and empower individuals to thrive.
We deliver leading employability solutions across a range of UK contracts and local frontline professional teams. Our services are more vital than ever before to individuals and their wider communities.
At Fedcap, we embed social value in how we work - from who we hire, to who we partner with, to how we deliver services that create lasting change. Whether that’s supporting a young parent into their first job, helping someone return after time away from work due to health or personal circumstances, or supporting a small business become more inclusive - our mission is to create impact where it matters most.
The Role
As an Employment Adviser, you’ll help change people’s lives by supporting them into sustainable employment. You’ll deliver high-quality, personalised support to people who are long-term unemployed and participate in the Department for Work and Pensions’ Restart Scheme. Committed to providing an excellent service to every customer, your role will involve carefully assessing individual needs, creating tailored action plans and CVs, and offering a range of support, from skills development to job search assistance. While you’ll have targets designed to support positive outcomes, you’ll also be supported in your role and will be encouraged to innovate and develop networks. Some of your customers may have complex needs and you might work with specialised services to support them.
