Employability Practitioner -Level 4

What will I be doing?

The broad purpose of the occupation is to work with individuals who are distanced furthest from the labour market, helping them to address and overcome obstacles to securing suitable and sustainable employment.  Employability Practitioners may specialise in working with a specific group of service users and will devise strategies to address and overcome the multiple and complex barriers to employment, and to improve their employability prospects, with the end goal being to find employment or to progress in work if they are already employed. This requires a broad appreciation of the types of public services, community offerings and funding streams available and an understanding of how these fit together so that they can put in place a bespoke plan of support that takes a holistic approach to the whole service user.
