Partnership Consultant

Position: Employer Partnership Consultant
Would you like to help level the playing field for people with learning disabilities to get into employment? This is a sales-focused role for an amazing cause, supporting people into meaningful work by building relationships with employers and creating opportunities for your participants. You dont need previous sales experience (its useful but not essential) as full training and support is provided.

Youll work with a caseload of participants and support them into work. A typical week includes meeting participants to support them with job searching, CV writing and interview preparation (typically around 8 x 1.5-hour meetings per week). The rest of your time will be focused on engaging employers and creating job opportunities for your participants. This is where you will:
Identify organisations who could be a good fit with relevant roles Reach out to decision makers (emails / cold calling) Arrange meetings in person to discuss opportunities (employers have no recruitment fees to pay) Discuss reasonable adjustments for your clients Coordinate work trials, interviews and placements To make a real impact, you will be happy working to targets to ensure enough activity and outcomes for your caseload.

Please apply via this advert. We are recruiting for one role in Stockport and two roles in the Manchester City area. Ideally seeking people with experience of sales, and / or learning disability or autism clients. If you have applied, and had an email to say we dont think your CV is the right match, but would like to speak to someone about this (we dont get it right al the time), feel free to use the contact us page on the Red 5 People website and someone will get back to you.

Please note:

there is no home working in this role. Its community based, so you will spend your time in cafés, libraries and community centres, with one day per week in the charitys Stockport office for admin and team support. A car driver is essential for the role (mileage and parking is paid).
