Supporting clients to improve their employability using a range of employment interventions, including CV writing, vocational profiling, interview preparation and job matching
Promoting the service offer and ensure continued employee engagement
Delivering training and skill sharing sessions with the wider team on aspects of employment practice and IPS, tackling stigma and identifying clients who want to enter employment

Flexible working opportunities and access to a range of services and resources to support you with your wellbeing
We have an excellent Refer a Friend scheme which offers you a £500 bonus for any recommendations, any role! Our scheme allows you to recommend your friends and family to work with us and earn a £500 bonus payment for every successful referral you make. Please note, the Refer a Friend scheme is only applicable once your recommended friend has been employed for 6 months

Essential Skills

We’re excited to receive applications from those with:

Demonstrable experience of helping people facing severe labour market disadvantage to obtain or keep work
Ability to develop relationships with multiple stakeholders including employers, partner agencies, clients and their family/carers
Experience of multi agency partnership working
An understanding of the principles and practices of the Integrated Support and Placement (IPS) model of supported employment
An ability to communicate highly complex and specialist information effectively both verbally and in writing, including the production of formal reports

DEI Statement

As an organisation, we continue to build an inclusive culture that encourages, supports and celebrates the diverse voices and experiences of our staff. We know that representing the communities we serve is key to us meeting our vision of a future where everyone lives a life free from the harm associated with drugs and alcohol. We welcome the unique contributions that you can bring and we encourage people from underrepresented communities and backgrounds to apply to join our team, including people with lived experience, people with disabilities, people from racialised communities, LGBTQ+ people, people of all ages and armed forces veterans.

As part of our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant we provide a guaranteed interview scheme for candidates that are veterans and meet all the essential criteria for a role. With You is also a Disability Confident Employer and we offer a guaranteed interview scheme for candidates with a disability and meet all the essential criteria for a role.

If you have a disability, a learning difficulty such as dyslexia or a medical condition which you believe may affect your performance during any aspect of our selection process, we’ll be happy to make reasonable adjustments to enable you to perform at your best.

Please note that you will be required to provide 3 years worth of references and where applicable, undergo an enhanced DBS check, to be considered for a role at WithYou.
