What do we need?

The role of Senior Support Manager requires an engaging, empathetic and motivating individual, able to support people with complex barriers to move into sustainable employment. 

Our Senior Support Managers understand their communities and the wide range of services available within them. Brokering routes into existing services and liaising regularly with health professionals, partner organisations and employers in the local community, Senior Support Managers are focused on ensuring every participants journey into sustainable employment is as smooth and well-coordinated as possible.

Senior Support Managers are able to quickly build rapport with participants and proactively source job opportunities with appropriate employers through reverse marketing. They will maintain supportive relationships with both participant and employer once employment begins. Senior Support Managers are engaging, motivating, assertive and able to manage their diaries in a time efficient manner. 

Providing bespoke support to individuals, running regular group sessions, and delivering outreach support where appropriate, Senior Support Managers are the people who can ensure individuals access the right support at the right time and progress towards their employment goals. They are able to adapt the support they provide, according to the changing needs of the participant.

This role is perfect for individuals with proven experience of supporting people with disabilities or long term health conditions in a recruitment environment. The successful candidate will have excellent interpersonal skills, a solution focussed approach, and be highly organised.
