About The Team & Role

Come and work for a rewarding organisation, joining our exceptional talent in the Gloucestershire Employment and Skills Hub which provides a central source of information and support for residents and businesses. Our aim is to help residents access learning and work opportunities, as well help employers get the right people, with the right skills, in the right roles. We are a team of dedicated professionals who thrive on helping people to achieve their learning and employment aspirations.  

The role of the Employer Engagement Adviser is supporting our new initiative ‘One Hundred Futures’ which has been created to support 100 young people aged between 16 and 24 to undertake a work placement which will help them to build skills, awareness and confidence, helping them to move into paid employment. Your role within this initiative is to work alongside employers to understand the benefits of and overcome any resistance to employing young people with complex barriers to employment. Identify opportunities for young people to gain work placements, attend workplace visits, sustainable paid employment and to positively influence other Gloucestershire employers to recruit and retain people.
