  • Identifying, structuring, and recommending wellbeing and training solutions, working in close consultation with your team to meet the specific needs of participants and employers.

Your Skills & Experience

  • You will have proven experience of working in a target-driven environment.
  • You’ll have high levels of attention to detail and accuracy to maintain customer records – experience of working with Microsoft 365 is a requirement, and CRM solutions will be an advantage.
  • Proven ability to build rapport, understand, and empower individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those with complex needs which may include substance misuse and/or mental health related challenges.
  • You’ll be confident in coaching, motivating, and questioning your customers to get a thorough understanding of their needs, while being an excellent listener.
  • You’ll have a high level of emotional intelligence.
  • You’ll be skilled at CV writing, being able to highlight your customers’ key experiences and strengths.
  • You’ll possess strong organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage a varied caseload and meet deadlines.
