Full Job Description

At Get Set UK, we support people to build skills, confidence and stability so they can move into and remain in
employment. As an
Employment Advisor
, you will work directly with individuals who need structure, encouragement and clear expectations to progress towards
work.

This is meaningful, hands-on employability support. It is also structured, fast paced and outcome focused.
If you are motivated by purpose, accountability and measurable impact, this role will suit you well.

What This Role Is Really About

Employment is built on more than a CV. It is built on routine, punctuality, preparation, resilience and
follow-through.

As an Employment Advisor, you will help people strengthen those foundations. You will also model them every day.

This is a people-facing, office-based role with a busy diary and clear performance standards. You will manage your own
case load and work towards defined job outcome targets.

You will balance supportive conversations with clear expectations. You will challenge constructively, keep structure in
place and help individuals build sustainable employability habits.

For the right person, this role is deeply rewarding. You will see people gain confidence, secure interviews, start jobs
and stay in work because of the consistency and guidance you provided.

What You Will Do
You will:

Manage a structured caseload of individuals working towards employment
Deliver focused one to one appointments in a full daily diary
Provide high quality CV writing, job application and interview support
Coach workplace behaviours such as punctuality, attendance, preparation and professional communication
Help individuals understand employer expectations and build reliable routines
Track progress and work towards clear performance and job outcome targets
Keep accurate, timely records using internal systems
Follow safeguarding, confidentiality and compliance procedures

This role requires strong organisation, resilience and the ability to maintain standards even when progress feels
slow.

The Standard We Work To
To coach employability, you must model employability.
We are looking for people who can evidence:

Reliability and professionalism:
You manage your time well, show up prepared and follow through on commitments.

Strong written communication:
You can write clearly, confidently and help others improve their CVs and applications to employer standard.

Resilience:
You stay calm, keep structure in place and do not take setbacks personally.

Integrity:
You take ownership of your work and do the right thing, even when it is not easy.

Commitment:
You can stick with a plan, maintain momentum and see things through.

This is not a passive support role. It is structured, target driven and accountable. It suits someone who values
routine, clear expectations and measurable results.

Who This Role Suits
You might come from:

Employability, welfare to work, skills, education, careers guidance, youth work, probation or housing
Recruitment, customer success, sales, call centre, retail or hospitality leadership
Coaching, mentoring or advisory roles where you influenced behaviour and achieved outcomes

What matters most is not your sector. It is your evidence of ownership, consistency and results., We reserve the right to close applications early, so we encourage early applications. Get Set UK is a Disability

Experience in a support, advisory or customer facing role
Strong written and verbal communication skills
