Are you passionate about inclusion and breaking down barriers to employment?
We’re looking for a motivated and people-focused Employment Specialist to join our Workability team. You’ll support people with physical disabilities, sensory impairments, acquired brain injuries, and carers to find, secure, and sustain meaningful employment.
This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days are the same. You’ll provide 1:1 tailored support, help clients develop confidence and job skills, and work directly with employers to create inclusive opportunities through reasonable adjustments and ongoing support.
We actively welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and identities, particularly those with lived experience or from groups currently underrepresented in our workforce.
You will:
• Manage a caseload of clients, providing personalised employment support and guidance
• Carry out vocational profiling, goal setting and job search support, including CVs, applications and interview prep
• Engage proactively with employers to secure inclusive work opportunities and advise on reasonable adjustments
• Provide ongoing in-work support to help people sustain employment
• Build strong links with local partners, colleges, services and organisations to support client goals
We’re looking for someone with:
• Experience of supporting people with disabilities and/or carers, or strong understanding of the barriers they face
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, including with employers
• Organisational skills and the ability to manage a varied caseload independently
• Confidence using IT systems (incl. Microsoft Teams) and maintaining accurate records
• A commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace
Knowledge of employment law, welfare benefits, or vocational assessment is desirable, but training and support will be provided.
You’ll need to be able to travel across the local area.
Why join us?
Impact Initiatives is a Brighton-based charity with a strong reputation for supporting people of all ages across Sussex. Our Workability Service works with West Sussex County Council to deliver Supported Employment, empowering people to overcome barriers and thrive in the workplace.
You’ll be part of a supportive, values-led team with regular supervision, ongoing training and opportunities for development.
