Job Description
Are you a recruiter looking to step away from sales but still want to use your skills to help people into work?Many recruiters don’t realise there’s a whole sector dedicated to careers advice and employment support — and it could be the perfect next step if you’re looking for more meaning in your day-to-day.As an Employment Advisor, you’ll support people who face barriers to finding work — helping them gain confidence, develop skills, and access opportunities. You’ll still be matching people to jobs, building employer relationships, and using your recruitment instincts — just without the sales targets or business development calls.The role is based in Biggleswade, working as part of a small and friendly team of two. You’ll manage a caseload of around 70 people referred via the Job Centre — typically individuals who need a bit of extra guidance, structure, or practical help to get back into employment.Day-to-day, you might:
* Help someone build or improve their CV
* Talk through local opportunities that match their career goals
* Liaise with local employers to connect them to job-ready participants
* Refer people to confidence-building or training support
* Remove practical barriers — such as arranging travel or workwear for interviews
This is a target-driven role, so you’ll need to stay organised and results-focused — but instead of sales KPIs, you’re working toward life-changing outcomes.If you’ve enjoyed candidate-side recruitment and want to move into a more meaningful, advisory role, this is a fantastic introduction to the employability and careers support sector.To apply, you must have good experience working in recruitment. Or you might have worked as a Careers Advisor, Employment Advisor, Employer Engagement Consultant or Job Coach.Interested?Apply via this advert and we’ll be in touch.
