If you want a job where you can go home knowing you have genuinely made a difference, this is it. Working in employability is hard to describe to anyone outside the sector, but the simplest way to say it is this: you get the chance to help people rebuild confidence, overcome barriers and change their lives for the better. It is meaningful, rewarding, human work and for many of us, it is the best job we have ever had.

At Triage, we don't just deliver employability and training programmes. We help people build confidence, develop skills, overcome barriers, and take meaningful steps towards employment and independence.

We believe great work starts with great people, so we make sure our colleagues feel supported, valued and empowered to succeed.

At Triage, we don't just offer jobs. We build careers. We're committed to developing our people through training, coaching, mentoring and opportunities to grow within the organisation. Many of our colleagues have progressed into new roles, gained qualifications, and expanded their skills whilst making a positive difference to the lives of others.

This is a key role at the heart of the programme's success. With every participant expected to progress into a funded work placement, you'll need to maintain a consistent pipeline of opportunities and ensure placements are available within 4-8 weeks of programme entry.

You’ll thrive in a dynamic environment, balancing employer relationships, placement targets and programme priorities while working closely with colleagues to achieve successful outcomes. The role requires initiative, resilience and a genuine commitment to creating opportunities that make a lasting difference.

No two days are the same, but every day offers the chance to change a young person's future.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• A natural influencer who can build trust quickly.
• Positive, resilient and motivated by helping others succeed.
• Organised, self-motivated and comfortable working towards targets.
• Local labour market knowledge and employer trends insight
• Confident enough to promote the benefits of inclusive hiring to employers
• Able to build and maintain exceptional employer relationships

We're looking for someone with the right attitude as much as the right experience.

We're looking for an Employer Engagement Consultant to build strong partnerships with local employers and create employment opportunities for young people aged 18-24 across the area. Working closely with Employment Mentors, you'll develop a strong understanding of each participant's goals, skills and potential, helping to identify opportunities where they can thrive.

Success in this role comes from your ability to engage employers and champion
