Are you passionate about empowering people to overcome barriers and achieve meaningful, lasting employment? As an Employability Trainer at Ingeus, you’ll play a crucial role in supporting individuals who have been out of work, helping them to develop skills, build confidence, and find sustainable employment. This is not your typical 9-to-5; every day will bring new challenges and rewarding moments as you help our participants change their lives.

What you’ll do as an Employability Trainer:

• Lead engaging group training sessions on key employability skills, from confidence-building and CV writing to interview techniques.
• Support participants individually and as a group, guiding them to identify and overcome barriers to employment.
• Deliver focused job search support by helping participants navigate job boards, polish their digital profiles, and prepare for interviews.
• Collaborate with your team to support your caseload into fulfilling employment, ensuring each participant’s journey is meaningful and effective.
• Respond to challenges proactively, creating a positive and productive environment even on the most unpredictable days.
• Meet and exceed performance targets, setting and forecasting job placements each month with accuracy and determination.

About you:
We’re looking for someone who can balance empathy with motivation, creating a supportive yet driven atmosphere. You’ll ideally have:

• Proven experience in designing and delivering impactful courses, workshops, or training sessions.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to multi-task and manage a busy schedule.
• Knowledge of the local job market and the ability to network and build relationships internally and externally.
• Great communication skills, with the ability to persuade, motivate, and listen.

Desirable but not essential:

• Background in employability, recruitment, or a similar sector.
• Experience in a fast-paced, target-driven environment.

Why join us?
As part of the Ingeus team, you’ll have access to a range of benefits that support your well-being and growth:

• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Life insurance and private medical care
• Company pension and online discount shopping
• Extra leave for personal development and volunteering
• Access to additional perks like extra annual leave, dental insurance, and gym discounts
