- Set clear, achievable goals (SMART targets) and regularly review progress to keep people on track towards employment.
What We’re Looking For:
- Experience supporting unemployed people, ideally within employability, welfare-to-work or a similar advisory role.
- Confidence managing a varied caseload and meeting job entry targets.
- Strong communication and motivational skills, with the ability to build trust and adapt your approach to each individual.
- Empathy, resilience and a genuine desire to make a difference in people’s lives.
