The role is ideal for someone who enjoys combining people-facing work with structured, detail-focused data and administrative responsibilities, and who is motivated by supporting people to move towards employment.
What you’ll be doing
If you were working with us, you would be at the heart of how our Connect to Work service demonstrates impact, quality and compliance.

Where risks or safeguarding concerns arise, you would escalate appropriately and in line with service protocols.
You would handle general enquiries from participants and stakeholders, signposting where Connect to Work is not the right provision. You would liaise with Local London regarding referral submissions and ensure tracking systems are up to date.
Internally, you would support frontline colleagues by providing training and guidance on data entry and performance recording requirements. You would help create simple, robust systems so advisers can focus on supporting participants into work.
