Employment Advisor

Help people rebuild their confidence and find work

Are you passionate about helping people overcome barriers to employment? Join a large, London charity based in Hounslow (with free parking!) that's dedicated to supporting individuals who need that extra boost to get back into work.

As part of a vibrant and supportive team, you'll work with 6-9 participants each day, offering one-to-one guidance that genuinely changes lives. Your clients may face challenges such as:

• English not being their first language
• Juggling caring responsibilities while looking for flexible or part-time roles
• Rebuilding confidence after a break from work or while managing a disability

You'll help them define their career goals and offer practical support including:

• Writing CVs and cover letters
• Searching and applying for jobs
• Interview preparation
• Better-off calculations to ensure roles make financial sense

Every day will bring something different. You might be helping someone plan a route to their interview, sourcing work attire, or speaking to local employers on a client's behalf.

This role would suit someone with experience as an Employment Advisor or Careers Advisor. But we'd also love to hear from you if you've worked in similar people-supporting roles like Recruitment Consultant, Supported Housing Officer, or Hostel Worker.

Interested? Please apply via this advert. We aim to respond to every application. If you haven't heard from us within 72 hours, use the "Send Us A Message" form on the Red 5 People website-or give the office a call and ask for James (details on the website).

NB: This is a 12-month contract initially. Everyone joins on a 12-month basis, with the possibility of extension.
