NFP People are proud to be recruiting on behalf of a pioneering charity that’s transforming lives across the UK. This award-winning organisation is redefining rehabilitation and employment support for people with convictions, and they’re looking for a passionate, people-focused Employment Consultant to join their Birmingham-based team.
As a Community Employment Consultant, you’ll be the vital link between prisons, employers and the community. You’ll support individuals before and after release, helping them navigate barriers and secure meaningful employment. You’ll also build strong partnerships with local employers, public services and third-sector organisations to create real opportunities for people rebuilding their lives.
This is a hybrid role based in Birmingham, with at least three days a week in the office and regular travel to West Midlands prisons. A full driving licence is essential and mileage is reimbursed.
