Description

Are you a passionate and experienced Employment Advisor dedicated to making a tangible difference in people's lives? We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Supported Employment Officer to join our dynamic Employment, Skills & Adult Learning service. This is an exciting opportunity to lead on delivering employment support for our Supported Employment programme.
As a Senior Supported Employment Officer, you will manage and support a caseload of clients facing significant barriers to work. Your primary goal will be to assist them in securing and sustaining high-quality paid employment that aligns with their preferences.
To be successful in this role, you will need prior experience in supporting people to access employment.

You will be joining an experienced and well-resourced Employment, Skills and Adult Learning service, adept at delivering all aspects of supported employment. We are committed to your professional development and will provide comprehensive training on the SEQF (Supported Employment Quality Framework) model.

We operate a fair and open anonymous selection process. Therefore, we do not accept supporting statements or CV’s.
As part of the application process, you will need to complete a number of competency based questions. These questions allow you to demonstrate your suitability for the role and provide examples of your skills, knowledge and experience outlined in the job description.
We understand the benefits of using AI in the workplace. However, if you are thinking of using this tool to submit your application, we ask you to think about what value it will add. AI tools tend to lack the personal touch and authenticity we value in candidates. We encourage you to showcase your unique knowledge and skills using your own voice.
This application process replaces a supporting statement.
Closing date for applications: 04 May 2026 (22:59)
Interview and assessment date: W/C 18 May 2026
We are also working towards our vision, which is to be a place for everyone; where residents and staff can be proud; a place that celebrates diversity and where everyone can feel valued, included and involved. In order to achieve this, we look for people who are: Proud; Ambitious; Pioneering; Open; Proactive; Inclusive.
Hackney Council works to eradicate discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. We also recognise that people can be disadvantaged by their social and economic circumstances, so we will also work to eliminate discrimination and disadvantage caused by social class. We also welcome those interested in flexible working. We particularly welcome applications from disabled people, as this group is currently under represented in our workforce.
The Council has a dedicated employment support service (Hackney Works), which offers Hackney residents guidance in relation to applying for jobs. If you are thinking about applying for a job, please contact the Hackney Works team to find out what support is available: hackneyworks@hackney.gov.uk
