Careers Adviser – North Operations

 

About the Role

Working alongside other stakeholders and partners, Skills Development Scotland has a central contribution to make in delivering the governments priorities for action within ‘Skills for Scotland’ – developing people, assisting employers and helping to improve the accessibility and coherence of learning and training opportunities.

 

North Operations are seeking applications from individuals who have enthusiasm and motivation to work with people of all ages who are experiencing difficulties in their career planning and development.  As a Careers Adviser, you will work directly with young people at school and college, unemployed MCMC clients, adult JSA claimants referred from JCP and employees at risk of redundancy.

 

Once fully qualified, the Careers Adviser will deliver career information, advice and guidance through a coaching approach, to all age clients through a range of different channels to facilitate the development of career management skills, including lifelong learning ambitions.  As facilitator and advocate, the Careers Adviser will work, through a range of partner agencies, to inspire, motivate and encourage clients to achieve their full potential.

 

This is a part time, permanent position (21 hrs) and will be based in Stornoway. Due to the rurality of the location, a full clean driving licence and access to a vehicle is essential.
