Our team of Employment Specialists work with caseloads of up to 25 clients in the community, helping them to decide what work they want to do, building their confidence to start looking for work, ensuring they have an up to date CV and providing guidance, support and coaching to enable them to find the right job. Employment Specialists also provide advice on benefits and contact potential employers.

The role of Employment Specialist is extremely varied and rewarding. You will be part of an IPS team, ensuring the right package of support for clients and keeping detailed and accurate records.

We need people who are flexible, assertive and adaptable, with a positive attitude about employment for all and excellent networking and interpersonal skills. Ideally you will have experience in employment support, but you do need to be willing to learn new skills, with a positive and supportive attitude and a passion for working with people. You also need to be confident with IT, keeping detailed and accurate records of your client work.
