Supported Internships Employment Officer

Job details

Our vision is - Shropshire living the best life. 

Shropshire Council is a unitary authority which serves the rural county of Shropshire. One of the most important things about working here is the knowledge that you’re working to help others and the real sense of achievement and purpose that brings. The people of Shropshire are rightly proud of their county’s assets, its natural beauty, its history, its diverse economy, its vibrant culture.

About the role

Enable has an exciting opportunity for a Supported Internship Employment Officer to join our team, supporting disabled people into meaningful employment and work placements. This is a community-based role working across Herefordshire and surrounding areas, delivered in close partnership with local Further Education providers.

Your role will be key in supporting students participating in the Supported Internship programme, helping them develop the skills, confidence and experience needed to transition successfully into the workplace. 

 
About you  

As a Supported Internship Employment Officer, you’ll step into a dynamic and highly rewarding role where no two days are the same. You’ll play a key part in changing lives by working directly with young people with SEND to understand their strengths, guide their journey, and support them into real-world employment. From creating vocational profiles and offering tailored advice, to sourcing placements, building strong employer partnerships and providing in-work and post-employment support, you’ll be at the heart of every success story.

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about making a difference, an excellent communicator with strong interpersonal skills, who can confidently manage a caseload and prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment.

You’ll need a good standard of education and confidence using IT systems to maintain accurate records. While a Level 3 Supported Employment qualification is desirable, we’re committed to your development and will provide full training and support to help you succeed.

At Enable, we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of vulnerable adults, and we expect all staff to share this commitment. We are proud to be an inclusive employer and warmly welcome applications from people with disabilities or ongoing health conditions.

• Generous annual leave commencing at 28 days increasing with service to 33 days (pro rata for part time). With additional annual leave purchase policy. 
• Access to a benefits platform with a wide range of retail discounts and salary sacrifice schemes (cars, bikes, AVCs)
