G7: £27,041 - £31,346 per annum.
The position is a two year fixed term contract to 27 October 2023.
This is an exciting opportunity to join Walsall Council’s Employment and Skills team and deliver one-to-one employability support to local residents. This will include managing a caseload of participants to progress them into sustainable careers.
The role involves working on the Council’s delivery of the Restart Scheme, which addresses the barriers faced by unemployed individuals looking to re-enter the workplace. It supports beneficiaries to secure positive outcomes including employment and apprenticeships and includes an individualised approach that addresses the range of personal and skills needs of participants.
We are looking for an experienced professional to provide advice, guidance and information to local residents of working age that have been referred onto the Restart Scheme. You will be expected to manage a caseload of participants, which includes recording information on progress and monitoring outcomes to ensure progression. Each advisor will be required to meet key performance indicators and quality standards as well as complying with policies and procedures.
You will be required to network with other professionals and advisors to understand their services and role in supporting participants and to develop appropriate links.
You will be responsible for the development of your own performance, maintaining up-to-date knowledge of relevant services, active engagement strategy and tools to contribute to ongoing professional development.
For an informal discussion please contact Matthew Allmark on 07385 424307 or Jane Kaur-Gill on 07983 612618.
