Your Role
As our Employability and Welfare Coordinator, your central purpose is to deliver a comprehensive, person-centred Careers Education, Information, Advice, and Guidance (CEIAG) service that actively champions learner progression. You will work to dismantle personal and systemic barriers, helping individuals advance into further education, volunteering, or meaningful employment.
About You
We are searching for an empathetic and highly motivated professional who embodies our core values: keeping the people of Stockport at our heart, succeeding collaboratively as a team, driving things forward with ambition, and showing value and respect to everyone.
The ideal candidate will hold or be willing to work towards Level 3 qualifications in CEIAG and Health and Safety, alongside at least a Grade C in GCSE English. You must bring excellent digital, analytical, and interpersonal skills. Crucially, you will have proven experience in conducting initial assessments, setting career focused targets, and successfully matching learners' skills and ambitions to the right opportunities.
