Debates around Black Lives Matter, mass remote working, inequality in our education system exposed by Covid-19 restrictions and debates about privilege – our society and our world of work is very clearly at a turning point.
As a social mobility charity, The Brokerage is in the fortunate position to influence that change in a positive, practical and meaningful way, working with underprivileged young people from state schools. We partner with corporates in the City (financial and professional services) that want our help with building and accessing a different talent pool and change organisational practices to create a post-inclusion culture where people from all backgrounds can thrive and be themselves.
The Brokerage is at a critical and dynamic point having recently launched a strategic re-direction, innovative new services and a relevant new brand, all supporting our vision of a world where a young person’s ability and aspiration alone determine their career path. At the heart of this exciting new direction is implementing our new partnership model to ensure that The Brokerage is both re-positioned as a Changemaker with corporates and ensures sustainable funding of its activities.
To achieve this The Brokerage is currently recruiting for a Placement & Recruitment Manager to lead the ‘Placement’ strand of our delivery, working closely with the Partnerships Team and wider programme delivery team to manage all entry-level recruitment with our corporate partners. This role will primarily focus on the management and delivery of our Year 12 and Year 13, and undergraduate placements. The postholder will be responsible for selection and preparing suitable candidates for our corporate partners from the Brokerage’s candidate cohort. It will also act as an expert advisor to our corporate partners on what works in terms of recruiting young people from diverse backgrounds.

- To work closely with the Outreach and Academy Manager to ensure that there is a pool of suitable candidates for placements and recruitment and manage all our support workshops and one to one sessions for candidates (e.g. CV, interview and assement centre prep)
- Work with the Outreach manager to develop, test and pilot new ways to assess talent that go beyond looking at grades and advise/work with our corporate partners to implement these
- Produce cutting edge guidance for our corporate partners working with the Corporate Changemaker Manager, e.g. employer guides and produce external thought pieces and research
- Manage, develop and run “Into-work” type of conferences (recruitment fairs with corporate partners) in collaboration with colleagues in the delivery and partnerships team
- Provide support and coaching to our candidates during recruitment processes and vice versa support partners with designing recruitment systems that work for our candidates working closely with the corporate consultancy manager
- To deliver a high quality placement service to employers which will meet their recruitment needs.
- Manage the development of our new apprenticeships offering, working with the selected training provider and the partnerships team

About CHAS
We are a small yet highly ambitious charity, and have used the last few years to begin a journey of substantial change and growth. We’ve formalised our internal structures, expanded our staff team and developed a growing portfolio of additional projects and partnerships. CHAS have a special place in Bristol and the local community, offering a high-quality advice service and community partnership projects since 1965.
CHAS offer advice, advocacy and practical, hands-on support to prevent homelessness and keep people in their homes. The need for our service and quality housing advice has never been higher, and it is vital we grow sustainably to play our role in helping Bristol meet this need, maximise our impact and influence real change.
Our values and culture
With dedication and commitment, CHAS work creatively and inclusively to put people first. CHAS empower people to take action, resolve issues and move forward with their lives. We are committed to doing a lot with a little, and driving forward positive change; this feeds into our ethos within the charity and our partnerships.
Within our small team of six, we have a strong culture of mutual support. We have been working remotely during lockdown, but stay in regular contact. CHAS has a flexible working policy so staff organise their working day around core hours. We frequently have interns and assistants working alongside us, driving forward new ideas and projects such as our new digital strategy.
The opportunity
Our Covid-19 response has resulted in a larger staff team, increased project and contract management, more reporting, and ultimately more referrals into the advice service.
