We are delighted to be partnering with our client, an award-winning charity providing employment support to vulnerable women, in their search for an Employability Coach, initially on a temporary contract. This is a full-time temporary position, working 35 hours per week (Monday to Friday). The preferred arrangement is hybrid working, with two days per week onsite in London (Monday and Tuesday), however fully remote working will be considered for candidates living in areas where commuting to London is not feasible. The role is to start as soon as possible and is expected to last approximately 12 weeks, with the potential for extension.

As an Employability Coach, you will provide online coaching and support to service users, helping them build the confidence, knowledge, and skills needed to become job ready.

Key Responsibilities will include:

• Conduct registration meetings, including needs assessments and onboarding to the service.
• Build and maintain supportive relationships with a caseload of clients, based on trust and mutual respect, to help address barriers to employment and encourage job readiness.
• Deliver employability support such as career coaching, CV writing, interview preparation. This support will be delivered primarily via video calls.
• Participate in supervision sessions and case reviews.

Requirements:

• Significant experience supporting vulnerable individuals; experience in supported employment is advantageous but not essential.
• Strong IT proficiency, including Microsoft Office and SharePoint. Experience working with case management systems and the ability to quickly learn new platforms is desirable.

Overall, you will be a positive, proactive person, passionate about delivering impactful solutions to improve people's lives.
