Employability and Integration Adviser

Your role will enable people who have legally migrated to the UK, with the right work under the Health and Care visa scheme, to develop the skills and identify the opportunities they need to secure sustainable employment within the sector and successfully integrate into the UK. This role provides holistic support to participants in our employability and integration programme.

The project involves a partnership between Open Door North East and Action Foundation to ensure people are supported right across the whole of the North East. You will collaborate with colleagues at Action Foundation while being managed by Open Door North East from our Middlesbrough office, with activities extending to support people in Teesside, Sunderland and County Durham.

The role has two key strands:

• one-to-one wrap around support for participants through a needs-based assessment and ongoing advice.


• facilitating access to volunteering, healthcare, housing, welfare benefits, education, employment, specialised services, and legal provision.
  
  The Employability and Integration Adviser will work to a variety of performance targets based on the progression outcomes of participants such as successful completion of training courses, voluntary and work placements and achieving and sustaining paid employment.
