The Shaw Trust, in tandem with government and the broader employment support community across the UK, is working hard to make sure we support as many individuals as possible to get and keep a job. We believe that everyone who needs help and support to attain their employment goals should be able to access it as soon as possible and that support should reflect their individual needs.

To help us in this mission we are looking to expand our employability services and looking for Employment Advisors to work on the Work and Health Programme - Job Entry: Targeted Support (WHP/JETS).

Reporting to a Team Leader, you will manage a caseload of participants, managing their journey to employment, offering advice and direction to enable participants to access support they need. The role will also involve re-building participant confidence and self-efficacy following a period on unemployment.

The ideal candidates will need to be inclusive and embrace our culture and values, putting those we serve at the heart of everything we do. You will consistently deliver high quality services to support our communities and beneficiaries. Additionally, an understanding of government funded employment programmes such as the Work and Health Programme would be an advantage.

Right to Work Checks

To comply with Home Office legislation on Right to Work checks we need to conduct in person Right to Work identification checks to verify eligibility to work in the UK. For virtual interviews we ask candidates to show their Right to Work identification during the interview. If a candidate who had a virtual interview is offered a role, they will need to complete an in person Right to Work identification check prior to joining Shaw Trust. This can be done on site or where that is not possible, we will ask new joiners to send their ID to our central office via the Royal Mail Special Delivery service which is fully tracked.
