We’re looking for a candidate with proven experience in employer engagement ideally from an employer development role such as Employment Adviser, Job Coach, Careers Adviser, recruiter, or HR professional. This position is very much geared toward those who have successfully built employer networks and driven business development. The role focuses on creating partnerships with employers committed to offering opportunities to service users, including those in custody. You’ll be confident working in prison settings, collaborating with CIAG teams and Prison Employment Leads, and skilled at promoting inclusive hiring practices.

While the role is primarily home based, travel to selected prisons will be required early on to understand the delivery model. Once established, you’ll regularly engage with a defined list of prisons across the South of England, with the role becoming approximately 80% home based.

If this sounds like the opportunity you’ve been waiting for and you’re ready to make a real difference apply today and help us transform lives through inclusive employment.
