About the Role
We’re currently recruiting Employment Specialists who will be at the heart of our delivery approach. As an Employment Specialist, you’ll make our customers feel welcome and comfortable when they first join our programme, which is one of our top priorities. You’ll be the welcoming voice of Pluss, conducting initial appointments with our new customers. Your role will require you to engage with individuals with learning disabilities from diverse backgrounds and experiences, empowering and encouraging them to find meaningful, sustainable employment. You'll identify and overcome barriers to improve their health and build their confidence throughout their journey. We welcome various backgrounds and experiences, as we provide superb on-the-job training.

This rewarding role allows you to utilise your skills to influence, support, and encourage others to build a future. Every employee seeks job satisfaction, and this service addresses significant barriers to gaining employment with tailored support. All new colleagues will have the opportunity to enroll in a Level 2 Employment Apprenticeship and progress to higher apprenticeship levels. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace and strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups.
