Are you passionate about empowering individuals to overcome barriers and achieve meaningful employment? We’re seeking proactive and self‑motivated Employment Advisors to join a dedicated Connect to Work team covering the region of Staffordshire. This is a rewarding opportunity to work directly with individuals who have disabilities or health‑related challenges and you will guide them on their journey towards securing sustainable work and building a brighter future.

• You will manage all interactions with your caseload, meeting all customers face‑to‑face in the centre.
• At the first intervention you will complete a comprehensive diagnostic to understand their barriers to employment and their past experience/skills or their learning requirements.
• You will then refer customers to training courses, workshops and mentoring sessions to break down their barriers to work and help them upskill each customer.
• You will set SMART targets and review these at each intervention to ensure progression towards securing employment.

• You will have extensive experience working with unemployed customers, including managing a fluctuating caseload and working to job entry targets.
• You will have experience working with customers with multiple barriers to employment, be able to complete in‑depth diagnostics and identify a path to help them in to work.
• You will have previous experience setting SMART targets and be target driven in managing your caseload.
• You will have empathy and a passion to help others.

Due to the nature of this role, you will be a vehicle driver with access to your own vehicle. You will be required to complete an online Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check and you will have access to your own vehicle as you will travel across the region.
