We are looking to recruit an Employment Support Officer for our UK Shared Prosperity Funded project - Fresh Start. The project delivers high-quality person-centred employment support to young people who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET). The successful applicant will have experience of working and engaging with young people to overcome barriers to work, training, or education utilizing tools and working models, as well as having a good understanding of issues faced and the current climate. They will be able to facilitate good Employer Engagement and upskill individuals based on their needs using vocational profiling, action planning, etc.

Key elements of the support you will provide will include Vocational Profiling and identifying individual support interventions required, which will inform action planning, outlining choices for the future in relation to participation in short, medium, and long-term outcomes for employment. This will include support with CV writing, job search, application forms, and interviews. You will deliver high-quality and impartial Information, Advice, and Guidance (IAG) to ensure that your customers are able to make informed decisions and are prepared for the next step in their lives. This intensive support model also enables young people to break down any additional challenges they may have moving towards work, which could include: confidence building, social and employability skills, and any other upskilling to ensure sustainability.
