Career Support Worker

Posted by Red 5 People Ltd.

We are reaching out to recruitment consultants who fancy a change from recruitment. No more sales. No more heavy targets. Instead, just supporting candidates who need some extra help. This role is working for a national charity who also happen to be an amazing place to work (Investors in People award). You will be coaching and mentoring people with chronic health conditions or mental health support needs back into employment.

We are recruiting for vacancies on behalf of this charity in East Surrey, and vacancies in West Surrey. In both cases, you will be based in the Woking office once a week. And the rest of the time you will be hot desking at other organisations to meet your clients such as job centres, health centres, community centres and libraries. So, you will need to be a driver.

The locations are:

West Surrey vacancies:

Woking (one day in office), then hot desking across all the following: Fleet, Farnborough, Aldershot, Farnham, Guildford, Chertsey.

East Surrey vacancies:

Working (one day in office), then hot desking across all the following: Leatherhead, Dorking, Reigate, Redhill & Epsom.

You will work with a caseload of job seekers who you will meet on a regular basis. Initially you will work with them to identify their challenges and goals. And then put a plan in place which you will work on moving forwards as you meet on a regular basis. In a typical session you might support someone to write a CV, prepare for a job interview, write a cover letter, and discuss reasonable adaptions with employers.

To apply ideally you will have worked in recruitment or something similar like a sales consultant, resource, talent acquisition consultant, careers advisor, inhouse recruiter or internal recruiter.

Please apply via this advert – everyone gets a response. If you do get a response to say we don't feel your CV is the right fit, the email you receive will detail how you can get extra feedback or talk to someone about this. You can also call the office and talk to Lawrence if you would like to speak to someone about the post.
