Advice & Support Officer for Employability

You will be joining our new Propel into Work service and will deliver advice, support and information for care experienced young people towards vocational learning and employment opportunities, and their supporting adults, via 1-to-1 support and employability workshops, resources on our Propel Into Work webpages, and by connecting young people with volunteers to offer further career insights. Whilst this role will support care experienced young people in different parts of England, they will have a particular presence and visibility in Manchester and Greater Manchester, through attending events, some in-person delivery, connecting with local organisations, and engaging with volunteers from local corporate partners.

At Become, we ask interested applicants to answer several competency-based questions.

Your application and answers will be reviewed anonymously to ensure fairness and help remove bias from the application process. You’ll need to send us your CV but it will only be considered if you score well as part of the anonymous review.

If you would like an informal chat before applying, please contact Clancy Dawson, Senior Advice & Support Officer for Employability, and we will arrange a convenient time.

Please also tell us if there are any reasonable adjustments we can make to assist you in your application.

The deadline for applications to be received is 9.00am on Monday 21st October.
