If you have a strong background in employability and enjoy delivering personalised, community-based support, we’d love to hear from you. Experience with vocational profiling and person-centred planning would be an advantage, as would the ability to build positive relationships with both participants and local employers.

• Deliver personalised employment support, including CV writing, job searching, interview preparation and career planning.

• Work closely with clinical and partner teams to encourage referrals and promote employment as a positive step towards improved wellbeing.
• Provide ongoing support to both participants and employers to help people succeed and remain in work.
• Identify suitable employment opportunities through tailored job matching and proactive engagement with local employers.
• Offer practical advice around benefits, workplace adjustments, health disclosures and other employment-related matters.
• Maintain accurate records and ensure all documentation meets quality and compliance standards.
