Employer Engagement Consultant – IPES
About Shaw Trust
At Shaw Trust we believe everyone has the right to live a decent and dignified life and an opportunity for rewarding work. We are a social purpose organisation challenging inequality and breaking down barriers to enable social mobility.
Having grown from humble beginnings in 1982 in the village of Shaw in Wiltshire, finding jobs for disabled people, today we are a complex and diverse charity committed to employment as the core pathway to a better life. For us being part of the solution is about creating the conditions for this to happen, advocating and delivering services that make a real difference. Working in partnership not competition, we are part of an eco-system of purpose-led organisations, striving for a fairer, more equal society centred on opportunity for all.
Role Purpose
Intensive Personalised Employment Support (IPES) is a voluntary provision, supporting people with disabilities and complex barriers to find work, sustain employment and make improvements to their health and wellbeing.
Shaw Trust is delivering IPES alongside two Joint Delivery Partners Health 2 Employment and Genius Within. Specialist Key Workers from each organisation will form Multi-Disciplinary Teams, sharing their expert knowledge/experience to provide holistic support to participants.
The Employer Engagement Consultant is an important role for the success of IPES. You will use your commercial engagement, sales and recruitment skills, knowledge and experience to identify and engage with local employers to generate long term relationships with Shaw Trust and source/tailor/carve work placements and employment opportunities for IPES participants.
You will work closely with Key Workers within your multi-disciplinary team to understand participants within your caseload and build relationships with employers able to offer the right opportunities for them.
