Job description

Want to make a difference but feel like recruitment has become all about hitting numbers? This role lets you use your sales and relationship-building skills for something with real impact. You'll still be engaging employers, including some engagement with businesses but it's not high-pressure or boiler-room style. Instead, it's targeted, local outreach with a warm message: there's no cost to employers, as everything is government funded.

Use your people skills to coach jobseekers using a clinically proven model of employment support (IPS). You'll be fully trained in this approach, helping people with health conditions or disabilities to find and sustain meaningful work.

We are recruiting 4 Employment Advisors to join one of the UK's largest charities. You'll combine 1-to-1 coaching with jobseekers, partnership work with the NHS, Jobcentre Plus, and local councils, and employer engagement across your local borough.

You'll manage a small caseload of around 25 participants, supporting each person into sustainable employment. You'll hot-desk across community sites, with all travel between locations paid (excluding your normal commute).

Typical locations: Uxbridge Job Centre, Hillingdon Civic Centre, Hillingdon Hospital

Many recruiters describe this as getting off the 360 hamster wheel, joining a purpose-driven sector where your skills make a tangible difference. And with a charity of this scale, there's genuine opportunity to grow your career.

About you

You will have at least 12 months solid recruitment experience (or sales) with a genuine interest in working in the charity sector and making a difference. You might have previously worked as a Recruitment Consultant, Delivery Consultant, Talent Acquisition Specialist or Account Manager.
