Employer Relationship Consultant

You will identify and engage employers, understand their recruitment needs and maintain a realistic vacancy pipeline. You represent Get Set UK externally, so credibility matters. Employers need to trust that you understand their business and will put forward people with a realistic chance of succeeding. You will work with colleagues and participants to make sensible matches. A vacancy alone is not the outcome.

You need to balance what an employer wants with the skills, circumstances and readiness of the people we support. Not every vacancy will be suitable. Not every employer conversation will convert. You need the judgement to recognise a good opportunity, the confidence to manage expectations and the persistence to keep developing relationships when plans change. You will follow opportunities beyond the introduction, tracking job starts and whether employment is sustained.

Alongside employer outreach and meetings, you will keep CRM records accurate, track activity and outcomes, coordinate with colleagues and follow up consistently.

Your pipeline is current and credible. Employers receive responsive, professional support. Participants are matched thoughtfully. Your records are accurate and compliant, and you stay close to opportunities through to their outcome. Ultimately, you can point to people starting and sustaining employment because of employer relationships you developed.

You are operating between employer expectations, participant reality and performance pressure. You will juggle outreach, employer meetings, candidate conversations, CRM administration, internal coordination and outcome tracking. Employers will change their plans. Opportunities will fall through. Priorities will compete. You need to be comfortable with targets, persistent follow-up and being accountable for impact rather than activity alone.

You will receive structured training, management support and regular feedback, alongside:

• Commission bonus
• 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
• Pension contributions
• Employee ownership share scheme
• Health and wellbeing support
• Gym discounts
• Development opportunities

Some benefits depend on eligibility or length of service.
