We are looking for an enthusiastic, resilient Employment Advisor based at various locations in Swindon Borough Council.

Your role

Employment Advisors will work with residents aged 16+ who are motivated to find work but face barriers to achieving this on their own.

Duties will include but not be limited to:

Direct work supporting participants towards the world of work.
Travel training.
Employer engagement.

You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act “for the effective performance of a customer-facing role”).

Your next package

Please see our Rewards and Benefits offer for more details.

As an employee, you will receive a diverse and exciting environment in which to work, encouraging creativity and innovation whilst recognising the need to support ongoing personal development and a flexible work life balance.

For Swindon to thrive in the future, we need to lay the foundations now. It’s why our regeneration and transformation programmes are already underway. So, you’ll be joining us at an exciting time on our journey. We’ll look to you to share your knowledge, influence decisions and drive real, positive change. With your contributions, we’ll achieve our vision of a prosperous, re-vitalised Swindon together. And you’ll be proud to say it was made better with you.
