About the role
This part-time position is exclusively about supported employment and so needs someone who is experienced in providing appropriate pre-work and in-work support. An important part of the role will include researching and sourcing new work placements.
Your day will start and end in Longfield, providing support throughout the whole working day. It is therefore essential that the successful candidate has their own transport and is happy to travel where needed to meet the start and finish times of any work placements.
The role demands excellent communication skills and an ability to empower and motivate others and support them to learn roles within a variety of workplaces. You will be able to work from own initiative, as well as being able to work well in a team.

CVs are not accepted. No agency contact please. You will be required to declare all past convictions, whether spent or not, as this post is exempt from The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1984. You will also be required to undergo an Enhanced DBS Check.
