Job Introduction
Do you want to see the difference you make to someone’s life every week?
At Get Set UK, we support people to build skills, confidence and stability so they can move into and remain in employment. As an Employment Advisor, you will work directly with individuals who need structure, encouragement and clear expectations to progress towards work.
This is meaningful, hands-on employability support. It is also structured, fast paced and outcome focused.
If you are motivated by purpose, accountability and measurable impact, this role will suit you well.
What This Role Is Really About
Employment is built on more than a CV. It is built on routine, punctuality, preparation, resilience and follow-through.
As an Employment Advisor, you will help people strengthen those foundations. You will also model them every day.
This is a people-facing, office-based role with a busy diary and clear performance standards. You will manage your own case load and work towards defined job outcome targets.
You will balance supportive conversations with clear expectations. You will challenge constructively, keep structure in place and help individuals build sustainable employability habits.
For the right person, this role is deeply rewarding. You will see people gain confidence, secure interviews, start jobs and stay in work because of the consistency and guidance you provided.
What You Will Do
You will:
-
Manage a structured caseload of individuals working towards employment
-
Deliver focused one to one appointments in a full daily diary
-
Provide high quality CV writing, job application and interview support
-
Coach workplace behaviours such as punctuality, attendance, preparation and professional communication
-
Help individuals understand employer expectations and build reliable routines
-
Track progress and work towards clear performance and job outcome targets
-
Keep accurate, timely records using internal systems
-
Follow safeguarding, confidentiality and compliance procedures
This role requires strong organisation, resilience and the ability to maintain standards even when progress feels slow.
The Standard We Work To
To coach employability, you must model employability.
We are looking for people who can evidence:
Reliability and professionalism: You manage your time well, show up prepared and follow through on commitments.
Strong written communication: You can write clearly, confidently and help others improve their CVs and applications to employer standard.
Resilience: You stay calm, keep structure in place and do not take setbacks personally.
Integrity: You take ownership of your work and do the right thing, even when it is not easy.
Commitment: You can stick with a plan, maintain momentum and see things through.
This is not a passive support role. It is structured, target driven and accountable. It suits someone who values routine, clear expectations and measurable results.
Who This Role Suits
You might come from:
-
Employability, welfare to work, skills, education, careers guidance, youth work, probation or housing
-
Recruitment, customer success, sales, call centre, retail or hospitality leadership
-
Coaching, mentoring or advisory roles where you influenced behaviour and achieved outcomes
What matters most is not your sector. It is your evidence of ownership, consistency and results.
What You Will Bring
-
Experience in a support, advisory or customer facing role
-
Strong written and verbal communication skills
-
Confidence using IT systems to manage records and track activity
-
Good organisation and attention to detail
-
A calm, professional approach when plans change
-
A genuine belief that employment can create positive change
We recognise that people bring different experiences and career paths. If you meet most of the criteria and feel motivated by the purpose of this role, we encourage you to apply.
