Belfast, United Kingdom LTSB Full time

It is an exciting time to join the charity as we embark on a new five year strategy. If you are passionate about Social Mobility and motivated by supporting young people living in some of the UK’s most deprived areas, this could be the charity for you

Our Careers Development Managers (CDMs) are the main point of contact for young people on our social mobility programmes. The main focus of the role is the recruitment, development and support of young people into meaningful careers.

CDMs create recruitment networks in their areas and lead bootcamps to improve their employability (e.g. interview techniques) and to enhance their personal and leadership abilities (e.g. critical thinking). Once young people are hired, CDMs use their established relationship to provide pastoral care and in-work support.

LTSB does not have its own offices, so you will work remotely, but this role has significant in-person delivery expectations at partner organisations and corporate supporters, as well as occasion travel to our city hubs Birmingham, Liverpool, London, and Manchester. Position will require DBS Disclosure at enhanced level.

**Main Responsibilities**

**Recruiting young people**:

- Liaison with delivery partners, hosts for activities, and guest speakers
- When appropriate, work closely with LTSB’s Partnerships Manager to secure support and space to deliver workshops in corporate environments
- Work with LTSB’s Employment Team to help secure outcomes for all young people

**Pastoral care**:

- Maintain and develop employer relationships (potentially creating further opportunities)
- Conduct regular support meetings with each young person during placement, providing personal development and pastoral support
- Develop and manage professional relationships with representatives from employers, such as those volunteering as mentors to our young people

**General responsibilities**:

- Accurate and timely record keeping throughout all stages of a young person’s journey through the LTSB programme
- The CDM will be required to adhere to LTSB policies and procedures.
