Learning Disability Job Hub Advisor

1 week ago

King's Cross, United Kingdom Le Pain Quotidien Full time

Role purpose:
We want everyone in Camden to lead good lives, and we know that being in good work is a key part of this. We want Camden residents who have a learning disability to be able to access the job market in a way that is right for them, and to find a role or placement that that makes use of and develops their skills, gives them a sense of purpose and contribution, and pays them a good wage in order for them to lead the life they want to lead.

People with Learning Disabilities are one of the most excluded groups from the job market. We want to support residents with learning disabilities to find work that works for them, through bespoke one to one support, coaching, career counselling, and relevant skill building, work preparation and support whilst in work.

Over the last two years we have been working to co-design and establish a new Accessible Job Hub to help more Disabled residents to find and move into good work. This role is designed to work within this service and will have a specific focus on supporting residents with a learning disability or difficulty.

Example outcomes or objectives that this role will deliver:

- Reaching out to residents in the places they go, through the services they access, to welcome them to the service and its offer
- Meeting with residents and their support networks to identify their aspirations for employment, using effective vocational profiling to determine their abilities, support needs and employment options and providing one-to-one support to help them access appropriate services. During the establishment of the hub, this may include residents who do not have learning disabilities
- Providing assistance and advocacy to residents, working with them and their support networks to develop flexible action plans
- Developing and maintaining effective working relationships with employers, recruitment agencies, training agencies, specialists and practitioners, in order to influence change and maximise employment opportunities for residents with learning disabilities
- Managing referrals for clients and liaising with external agencies to support the progress of residents
- Providing in-work support to residents through their probation period, using methods such as systematic instruction, chunking, visual aids, easy read and accessible information to support residents to learn new skills in order to excel at work
- Playing a key role in the overall development and sustainability of the Accessible Job Hub, such as sharing good practice with colleagues

To be considered for this post, you should possess, and be able to demonstrate, all of the following:

- You are a learning disabilities specialist: you have training or demonstrable experience in systematic instruction and writing in an accessible way, for example with pictures, and other teaching and training methodologies for people with learning disabilities

- You build great relationships: you have excellent communication and interpersonal skills and are effective in working with employers, local employment and skills partners and residents with learning disabilities, their families and people who work with them.
