Senior Employability Officer

This role sits within the Joined Up for Business family and has an operational remit supporting New Scots jobseekers with a Ukrainian focus. The post-holder will provide employability guidance and coordinate recruitment and training requirements, ensuring each jobseeker has access to appropriate resources and is linked to relevant services as needed. Clients may include those requiring support to become job-ready, as well as job changers requiring additional support to move into employment. The post-holder will also work directly with employers to connect jobseekers with relevant and suitable vacancies, maximising employment opportunities.

This post is predominantly based within the MacMillan Skills Hub in Pennywell, North Edinburgh, and the post-holder will join the Hub's team on a day-to-day basis. MacMillan Skills Hub is coordinated by Capital City Partnership and supports people into employment, training, and supports local employers across Northwest Edinburgh.

This work sits under the wider employer offer for the city, Joined Up for Business, the employer strategy for the city, which is coordinated by Capital City Partnership, and supports businesses with recruitment, training, and matching people into jobs.

Capital City Partnership contract-manages the organisations that provide employability support to individuals across Edinburgh. The post-holder will work in partnership with a supply chain of over 60 organisations within the Joined Up for Jobs network.

As part of the wider employer offer, Joined Up for Business also delivers community-based job fairs, training through our JobFit framework and manages several Recruitment and Skills Hubs across the city such as FUSE, MacMillan Skills Hub and Fort Kinnaird Recruitment and Skills Centre. The New Scots Employability Officer will link jobseekers into these offers.

As this is a one-to-one employability support service, most work will be delivered in person, with some work required from satellite offices such as our Recruitment and Skills Hubs network or Capital City Partnership's main offices as required. Remote/home working is supported when necessary.
