We are interested in applications for full or part time hours.
We're delighted to announce the launch of a brand new service - Persona Employment Pathways - and we're looking to recruit a dream team to take this exciting project forwards.
We are establishing a new team, initially to work with people we already support in Persona, to enable them to explore their aspirations for spending some of their time in employment and volunteering. We're looking for a team with the passion and determination to help people build the skills they need, find the perfect opportunity for them, and then help them thrive in their work.
About You
We're looking for the right people to get this team off to a flying start. You'll need to share our values and be passionate about enabling people to achieve their aspirations. We'll provide training to enhance the skills and experience which you bring to the role. We are true champions of flexible working so we're very willing to understand what working arrangements work best for you and to try and accommodate those if we can. We want you to thrive as much as the people you'll be supporting.
No one will meet every single desired qualification. If your experience looks a little different from what we're saying and you think you can bring value to the role, we'd love to learn more about you!
About The Role
Persona supports people with learning disabilities and older people within Bury, Greater Manchester. We provide a range of services for adults who have learning disabilities, autism and/or mental health needs. These services are very diverse and offer a unique and exciting opportunity to empower the people we support.
Our job coaches will be in-reaching to services to raise people's awareness of employment and volunteering and to identify suitable referrals. You'll work with people in small groups or individually to understand their aspirations and to help them build skills and develop their strengths. You will support them to understand what roles are right for them, to gain more of an understanding around employment and work towards a good job match and be their partner through their job search, by their side to enable them at all points. When they achieve their goals, you'll be there to support them to settle into their opportunity and thrive.
All roles will be hybrid with a mixture of work at home, at our Basecamp office or out within services and the community.
Further information about the role can be found in the job description .
In return for your contribution we will support you throughout your career -
We provide a wide range of employee benefits, career development and lifestyle support services to ensure that you too feel supported, fulfilled and valued from day one of your employment with us.
Persona is committed to being an inclusive employer and recognises the value of having a diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve.
We welcome applications from all people, irrespective of their personal characteristics or circumstances, and appointments are made objectively based upon talents, abilities and experience.
Where possible, we will support employees to work flexibly or with adjustments, so that they can perform to their best ability. We are committed to providing a working environment where all employees are treated with dignity and respect, and where individual skills and life experiences are valued.
Please note
Satisfactory disclosure at the appropriate level under the Disclosure and Barring Service is required prior to appointment.
