Shaw Trust’s Retention Services sit within our Community Health & Wellbeing division and is a growing part of the business and our wider employment support offer to our beneficiaries.
We work in partnership with Talking Therapy teams who refer clients that are currently in or out of employment but may be experiencing difficulties in the workplace and require assistance to help them return to work, remain in work or find new employment.
We need a Senior Employment Adviser to provide highly effective support to individuals guide them on their journey to returning, remaining or finding new employment while also supporting them to improve their health and wellbeing.
The Senior Employment Adviser (SEA) role will manage a team of Employment Advisers (EA) providing supervision, training, caseload management, and role modelling best practice approaches to job retention. The SEA will play a pivotal role in managing a high-quality service that meets the exacting standards of our commissioners and delivers positive outcomes for service users.
Providing vision and direction, you will lead the development of our network of relationships, building capacity and ensuring the success of our job retention services across all providers. Making sure our clients receive the best service to meet their needs, you will be comfortable in managing contracts against our agreed service objectives and performance outcomes. Uppermost in your mind, will be building strong collaborative working relationships in your community with our partners.
Working with the Service/Contracts Manager, you will be responsible for monitoring and analysing delivery network performance, building service capability, capacity and quality. You will also provide skilful relationship management ensuring positive and productive relationships are maintained.
Shaw Trust has bid for the NHS Employment Advisors in Talking Therapy contract in West London, an innovative programme embedded within Talking Therapies and the wider community delivering employment support to participants in parallel to the health treatment being delivered by NHS clinicians.
We are inviting people to express an interest in the opportunities that may be available to join our delivery teams, subject to the bid outcome due in the coming weeks.
Shaw Trust is committed to creating inclusive services which meet the needs of our diverse clients. We are committed to employing colleagues who share the lived experience of our ethnically diverse clients in West London and would therefore particularly welcome applications from candidates from ethnically diverse backgrounds and from women, who are currently underrepresented in our team at this time.
