Location: Home-based with significant travel across the designated region

Salary: £32,208

Hours: Full time 37.5 hours per week (part time or flexible working options available)

Contract: 2 years fixed term with possibility of extension

Would you like to be inspired every day in a highly rewarding role? Whether it’s the veterans we support, your colleagues or the other services that we collaborate with, you will be working with an exceptional group of people.

At the Poppy Factory, we help armed forces veterans with health conditions to find meaningful and sustainable employment after service. This often means overcoming significant barrier to employment. Our aim is to empower veterans, help them to recognise their unique skills and give them the confidence to move forwards in their career.

As an Employment Consultant, you will be assisting veterans across London and Kent back into work. Based at your home, but with extensive travel, you will help with application materials, overcome challenges, and connect with employers. You will also work alongside professionals in other services such as health or welfare to ensure that the veterans have access to all the support they need to overcome barriers to gain and retain employment.

What do we need from you?

Empathetic and effective communicator. You will be comfortable building rapport and trust with people from a diverse range of backgrounds. A collaborative mindset. You will enjoy working as part of a team with colleagues based across the UK who support each other in what can sometimes be a challenging role. You will also work closely with many other organisations for the benefit of the veterans you will be supporting. Motivation and commitment. It takes hard work, tenacity and time to help people reach their employment goals. You will sometimes be helping people in challenging circumstances who need intensive support to move forwards. This is hugely varied role and no two days are the same. You will often need to balance competing priorities or quickly shift focus depending on the needs of the people you will be supporting.

Why should you apply?

A chance to give back to our armed forces and make a positive and lasting impact to the lives of veterans and their families. Competitive salary and benefits package including generous holiday and pension contributions. A welcoming and empowering culture, with regular opportunities for team connecting and shared learning throughout the year. Variety in the role, a mix of travelling in your area, home working and occasional visits to the historic Poppy Factory in Richmond, London The opportunity to develop your region and build relationships with employers and other support services that best meet the needs of the people you’re supporting. Be part of an iconic charity with a 100+ year history
