What do we need?
The role of Support Manager requires an engaging, empathetic and motivating
individual, able to support people with complex barriers to move into sustainable
employment.
Our 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, Support Managers are focused on ensuring every participants’ journey
into sustainable employment is as smooth and well-coordinated as possible.
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. 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, 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.
