Education and Employment Adviser x 2

As part of Warrington Borough Council's education and inclusion service, we provide information, advice and guidance. Our priority is to make sure every young person makes the right choice, and this choice helps them to remain in education, training or employment with training.

We offer one-to-one careers guidance appointments either face to face, virtual or over the phone. Our purpose is to work with local young people to understand their interests and help them find the best career choice, leading to positive outcomes.

The role

Working as part of a dynamic and passionate team, the successful candidate will be expected to deliver quality, person-centred, information, advice and guidance to a variety of young people. From individual, brief interventions, such as one-off careers appointments, to longer-term engagement and group delivery, the diversity of the role reflects the diversity of our local community.

Hours of work will generally be Monday to Friday during office hours from a base at 1 Time Square. But the ability to work at other professional, community and educational settings will be expected, as will the flexibility to work outside office hours on occasion.

What's needed?

An enthusiasm to help others is a must, along with professional communication skills and experience within a similar role and/or setting. Working primarily with and/or on behalf of young people with SEND, applicants should be confident and experienced in supporting people with additional needs. A relevant level 4 qualification in information, advice and guidance, or equivalent is essential and ensures we maintain our professionally recognised standards.

As well as a competitive salary, working for us means you get:

• 26 days annual holiday - raising to 31 after 5 years of service (pro-rata)
• Access to our attractive and competitive benefits package
• Access to our Health & Wellbeing Programme
