Your Role

As our Employability and Welfare Coordinator, your central purpose is to deliver a comprehensive, person-centred Careers Education, Information, Advice, and Guidance (CEIAG) service that actively champions learner progression. You will work to dismantle personal and systemic barriers, helping individuals advance into further education, volunteering, or meaningful employment.

You must bring excellent digital, analytical, and interpersonal skills. Crucially, you will have proven experience in conducting initial assessments, setting career focused targets, and successfully matching learners' skills and ambitions to the right opportunities.
