View Vacancy -- Employment Advisor - Care Leavers

About Haringey Works

Haringey Works is the Local Authority’s in-house employment support service and plays a vital role in supporting the Council’s commitment to provide access to skills, development, training and sustainable jobs for residents.

The Team supports residents at all stages of their career through a range of techniques and strategies including information advice and guidance, CV writing, one to one casework, interview preparation and job search support.

About the role

This new role will provide a targeted employment support service to Care Leavers through intensive casework and support into employment and progression into better quality work.

The role will be based with Haringey Works but the post holder will work closely with the Leaving Care Team and Personal Advisors.

This role is ideal for a great people person who can support and challenge Care Leavers as appropriate. We are looking for someone who can build trust and rapport, motivate and encourage, empower and provide young adults with the tools rather than doing everything on their behalf.

About You

The ideal candidate will need to be an experienced, resilient and confident practitioner who can demonstrate understanding of the barriers and challenges faced by Care Leavers and be able to use person-centered, solution focused strategies to help young adults prepare for, gain and sustain employment.

You will need to be willing to try new approaches to employment support and have personal and direct experience of current recruitment practices.

The ideal candidate must have absolute belief in the assets and human capital/potential of each of the young adults you work with.

Closing Date: 11th August 2020
