You’ll carry out initial assessments, develop personalised action plans, identify barriers to employment and signpost to specialist support where needed. You’ll also help clients prepare disclosure statements and stay motivated throughout their journey.

You’ll build strong relationships with employers, monitor suitable vacancies and proactively promote clients for opportunities.
