Why Join Us?

We are Hestia. We make a difference.

At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for a Employment Advisor to play a pivotal role in our Employment Services in Ealing.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

The role is designed as an integrated employment and mental health service to improve both mental health and employment outcomes. EAs are part of the employment team and work alongside clinicians to provide employment support to help  clients remain in work, return to work, or find employment. This takes the form of personalised support for the client backed up by an action plan detailing the client's employment goals and the actions that the client, the therapist, and the Employment Advisor agree to take to meet those goals.

What do I need to bring with me?

You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires as well as match our values and mission. You don't have to tick all  the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. We also value lived experience of the areas we support, so if you feel comfortable, please do mention this on your application.

Proven experience in building partnerships with employers, Jobcentre Plus, clinical teams, and community organisations is essential, along with strong networking skills to coordinate comprehensive support with wider agencies.

The role requires a person-centred approach, with experience in coaching and motivating service users while respecting their choices and aspirations. Strong case management and organisational skills are essential to manage varied caseloads, track outcomes, and maintain accurate reporting.

Knowledge of welfare benefits, including “better off” calculations, and the ability to signpost to additional support such as housing, financial advice, and legal services, is required. The candidate should also be confident liaising with external agencies such as Access to Work and Citizens Advice to enhance support for clients.
