This is a hybrid role (3 4 days a week from home on average and 1 day based in St Neots), supporting people with neurodiversity support needs to either maintain employment, or secure new employment.This is a lovely charity to work for (we have placed 30 plus people who are all still there) The role is a FTC maternity cover until February 2027 with the option to stay on for an additional month working 3 days a week. There is the potential opportunity for it to be made permanent depending on performance and availability. Typically, you will have a caseload of around 40 participants. They might have been referred to you via the NHS, job centre or referring themselves. The service specifically supports people who are neurodiverse which could include ADHD, Autism, Dyspraxia or Tourettes. They might be struggling to maintain work, or secure employment (its about 50-50 on average). The people you support who are employed, but struggling, might be signed off from work, or they could be going through a challenging situation such as a PIP. You will support them through this process, at times liaising with employers on their behalf and discussing returns to work or reasonable adaptions. In instances where someone is unemployed, or seeking a new career, your sessions will focus on a career move. So, job searching, CV writing and interview prep. You will have around four 121 sessions a day with your clients. Usually, you work with people around 3 6 months until they no longer need your support (but this can vary). Whilst its hybrid, the charity does need people who can be flexible (so not fixed on days from home). Mondays you will always work from their St Neots office, with team meetings every other month. In addition to this you could be attending visits to a local job centre or careers fairs (Peterborough / Cambridgeshire). To apply, ideally you will have worked in the employability field before. So, you might have worked as a Work Coach, Employment Advisor, Careers Advisor, Recruitment Consultant, HR Advisor or similar. Alternatively, you might have worked in a role supporting other to achieve goals. So you might be a teacher, tutor, recovery worker or similar. Please apply via this advert. We aim to respond to everyone.

Graduate looking for a career you can grow in while making a genuine difference? We've worked with this organisation for years and have seen many people build long-term careers and progress into senior and management positions. They're now recruiting multiple Employment Specialists across Swindon, Warminster and Chippenham . This could be a great fit for a graduate with some work experience, perhaps in sales, recruitment or customer service, or someone who has supported people to achieve goals through education, support work, youth work or a similar people-focused environment. As an Employment Specialist, you'll support people with health conditions or disabilities to find and sustain employment. It's a community-based role, so you'll spend your time meeting people in locations such as NHS hubs, libraries and community venues rather than sitting behind a desk all day. Full training is provided, so you don't need previous employability experience. What matters is that you're good with people, organised, able to build relationships and motivated by helping others achieve positive outcomes. The role is target-focused, so you'll need to be comfortable managing your own diary, working independently and achieving KPIs. A driving licence is highly desirable and essential for some locations. Interviews will take place in Devizes and include an interview, presentation exercise and short written task. Please apply via this advert. We aim to respond to everyone. If you haven't heard back within 72 hours, complete the "Send Us A Message" form on the Contact Us page of the Red 5 People website and we guarantee a real person will respond.
