In this role, you’ll be dedicated to supporting vulnerable populations with barriers to employment. This may be due to a mental health difficulty, disability, homelessness or offending behaviour. You’ll already have a sound knowledge of the various social and public policy initiatives that can impact them. You’ve created employability packages to address the unique needs of residents. Innovative and always striving for better inclusivity, you regularly review provisions and take action to improve them.
Experienced at working collaboratively and communicating to a broad range of people, you ensure that everyone feels heard. You’re able to build trust and rapport so that people feel comfortable sharing barriers that they face. Plus, you’re a problem-solver, always focused on applying structured thinking and evidence to tackling challenges and landing on effective, practical solutions. You’ve coached clients, including those that face multiple disadvantages, and have given them the needed support to secure employment.
As well as this, you’ll be experienced in workshop creation and delivery. You’ve used a range of technology and systems to aid employment. Your desk research and information gathering are both of a reliably high quality. Previously, you’ve taken a resident and data led approach to improving employability programmes. This extends to sharing what you’ve worked on with cabinet members, executive directors and other senior stakeholders.
Even under high pressure, you remain resilient and steadily focused on key priorities and deliverables. Your work always aligns to organisational standards, for record keeping, sign-off and escalation policies. And above all, you’re enthusiastic about helping people find fulfilling employment.
