Careers Advisor

Description:

This charity is seeking 2 careers advisors.  One based in Slough, and the other in Reading.  They are a lovely organisation to work for (Investors in People Gold).  And if you prefer part time instead of full time, they can look at that too.
 
They are seeking people with experience within the employability / careers sector to work on their national careers service contract.  Typically, you will deliver 3 – 4 sessions per day mostly from community settings (so libraries, JCP, LA offices etc).  The aim being to deliver IAG sessions, so participants leave the session with an action plan to move them towards education or employment.
 
Established Employment Advisors start on £25, 800, and those with an IAG 4 / 6 can start higher up the scale with the top end being £31k (for level 4).  If you don’t have a careers advice qualification, this charity will pay for this and your pay will increase accordingly.
 
Although the roles are based in Slough and Reading, the contract is Berkshire, so you will need to be flexible to go to other locations in the county if there is a need (i.e. referrals numbers change).  This role can be offered full time, or part time 3 – 4 days per week (but the days must be within the working week Mon to Fri, 9 – 5).
 
To apply, you might have experience of working as an Employment Advisor, Job Coach, Careers Advisor, Employer Engagement Consultant or similar.
