Based in High Wycombe. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a project that supports 16-24-year-olds, giving them the skills, confidence, and guidance they need to move into employment. The programme combines classroom learning, covering maths, English, and employability, with hands‑on support. It has a strong track record, with around 70% of participants going on to secure paid jobs. As a Youth Employment Advisor, you will work closely with a small group of young people with an EHCP, helping them prepare for and succeed in the workplace. Day to day, that will involve:
- Approaching local employers to arrange supported work experience placements
- Helping employers put the right adjustments in place, and giving advice on how to best support a young person with a neurodiverse profile
- Supporting the young person with their role, tasks, and day‑to‑day workplace skills
- Providing travel training so they can confidently get to and from work
- Keeping families regularly updated and involved.
About You
You will bring an understanding of the challenges faced by neurodiverse young people and the confidence to build relationships with employers. Experience in roles such as Employment Advisor, Job Coach, Careers Advisor, Recruitment Consultant, Youth Support Worker or Employer Engagement Consultant would be useful, but above all, what matters is your ability to engage, encourage, and support young people into work.
