The Vacancy
We are excited to advertise for a Key Worker role for our innovative employment and learning support service - The Greater Manchester Education, Training and Employment Service (GM ETE).
Our delivery supports people serving custodial or community-based sentences into education, training and employment opportunities. The job will involve working with people in the community, who are subject to supervision by the Probation Service, to engage them in learning, training and employment, both through one-to-one and group work.
You’ll need to be proactive, a good communicator and able to manage your own caseload. You will be effective at working with partner organisations, to ensure the best results for our clients. Recording of accurate information on client records is an important part of the job, so you’ll need to be comfortable working on databases and systems and have a strong attention to detail.
We are especially looking for applicants who can connect with people to help move them forward, can network with partner organisations and research new opportunities for the people on your caseload. As well, you will have the skills to work towards individual performance outcomes. If you have experience of working with disadvantaged people, and/or offenders and you want to make a difference, we would love to hear from you.
We’ll give you all the training you need to do the job and provide you with support to get established in the new role. Employment is subject to successful Enhanced Level 1 clearance via Shared Services Connected Limited (SSCL), which is the vetting required for staff based in probation and prison settings. This will be arranged with you.
