Make a difference
Why we need you
We’re expanding our careers information and guidance services to provide much-needed support to those affected by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many people are looking to alter their career and life plans, so our mission of inspiring people to make better decisions that help them progress in learning and work has never been more relevant.
We now need to grow our teams of Careers Advisers to work on our National Careers Service contract, which currently runs until March 2022 and potential to extend beyond this date.
About the role
Our Careers Advisers make a positive difference to people’s lives. If you’re successful applying for this role, you will empower customers, enabling them to overcome barriers to progression. You’ll provide information, advice and guidance to adults on a range of opportunities, including learning and career paths and employment.
Qualifications
Whist we would prefer a Level 4 or Level 6 IAG qualification there is an opportunity for trainees willing to undertake the qualification.
We’re particularly keen to hear from you if you have some experience of working on a payment by results contract and /or have worked to targets and deadlines. You need to be able to demonstrate that you can work remotely, be self-sufficient and manage customer relationships.
Most importantly you will be passionate about helping people and will be driven by success in your own role.
Where will you work?
We are currently working from home and delivering services virtually due to the pandemic. When we return to business as usual you will not be office based and instead will deliver telephone, web, group and face to face information and advice services to customers sometimes within partner venues and other community settings. We will also support you to work from home for part of this delivery.
Why work for Adviza?
Work for Adviza and you’ll have an opportunity to make a positive difference to people and be a force for good in your local community. As you’d expect from a people charity, we look after our own: our commitment to employees has recently resulted in Adviza being awarded the Investor in People Established (Silver) status.
We recognise the importance of work/life balance and as such provide a wide variety of flexible working options. We also offer a competitive benefits plan including pension, and holidays of 25 days, rising to 30 days after 5 years, plus bank holidays.
