Are you looking for a new challenge?
Economic inactivity is disproportionately high within social housing and housing providers, such as Livin, are intrinsically well placed to provide employability support for their economically inactive tenants. Housing offers a uniquely holistic approach that integrates employability provision with other support mechanisms to give the tenants the best possible opportunity of progressing and succeeding. Whilst helping a tenant with job search, you will be having conversations about rent and financial circumstances, family and home life, health and wellbeing and neighborhood and community. You could make a big impact on the ability of our tenants and communities to gain a competitive edge in the job market and help us take our award-winning employability offer to the next level
About us
We are an award-winning not for profit housing association that currently owns over 9,000 homes across County Durham. We offer more than just a home. We help improve the lives of the people living in our homes and in our places. We work hard to make sure those homes are high quality, sustainable and adaptable, while meeting your current and future aspirations. We offer support that help people into work and training and increase their financial confidence and stability.
We are more than just a landlord, we have a social purpose providing vital support to help our tenants and communities own and to take control of their lives, reach their full potential and shape their futures.
About the role
You will co-ordinate employability efforts between Livin tenants, communities, statutory agencies, stakeholders and Livin teams. The post will support the Economic Inactivity Trailblazer, North East Mayoral Strategic Authority (NEMSA) Funded programme in the development and implementation of a range of services and products to address unemployment in local communities, infiltrating new markets where possible.
You will design and deliver successful employability initiatives to meet the needs of tenants and local employers and achieve challenging targets. You will thrive seeing your own caseload of tenants’ progress through to employment and witnessing the opportunities this opens up to them and their families.
About you
You will be a highly motivated, engaging and supportive employability practitioner with a passion for providing a brilliant customer experience. With a detailed understanding of the barriers impacting on employment opportunities for customers who have experienced long-term unemployment you will have a good understanding of the customer journey, helping to identify the best course of action to achieve customer satisfaction.
