Job description

Would you like to join a large London charity dedicated to supporting individuals who need extra help to secure employment? Based at the Treaty Centre in Hounslow (with free parking), you will be part of a vibrant team making a real impact on the lives of local residents.

In this role, you’ll meet with 6 – 9 participants daily, providing one-to-one, ongoing support to help them secure meaningful employment. Your clients may face a variety of challenges, such as:

• English not being their first language,
• Balancing caring responsibilities while seeking flexible or part-time work, or
• Rebuilding confidence after a period of unemployment or managing a disability.

During these sessions, you’ll help clients identify their career aspirations in relation to their skills and experience. You’ll assist with:

• CV and cover letter writing,
• Job searching,
• Preparing for interviews, and
• Conducting better-off calculations to ensure their career decisions align with their financial goals.

Your day-to-day will be varied and rewarding. One moment, you might help someone plan their route to an interview or arrange work attire. The next, you might advocate on behalf of a client to a local employer or help them navigate job opportunities.

This role would be a great fit for someone with experience as an Employment Advisor or Careers Advisor. However, if you’ve worked in a related role—such as a Recruitment Consultant, Supported Housing Officer, or Hostel Worker, where you’ve supported people one-to-one to achieve goals—we would love to hear from you.

Please apply via this advert—we aim to respond to every application. If you haven’t heard back within 72 hours, please use the “Send Us A Message” form on the Red 5 People website, and we’ll ensure a member of the team gets in touch. Alternatively, feel free to call the office and ask for James (contact details can be found on the Red 5 People website).
