Special

Note:

We need to do better on the representation front. If you Black or Brown or neurodivergent or have another disability we are particular keen to receive your application.

Radical Recruit bridges the gap between the most disadvantaged job seekers and the labour market. We support Radicals — people with lived experience of:

• Homelessness
• Criminal convictions
• Disability or chronic health conditions
• Care system involvement
• Substance misuse recovery
• Domestic violence survivors
• Returned veterans

We also represent people who belong to a protected class and should enjoy protections under the law but too often, do not. This includes Global Majority/Black and Brown people, under 30's/over 50's, women, disabled and neurodivergent people and the LGBTQIA+ community.

As an Employability Coach/Mentor, you will play a key role in helping Radical candidates move closer to and into the labour market. During our bi-weekly virtual workshops and occasional in-person sessions, you will be matched with a Radical to provide tailored, one-on-one support.

Tasks may include:

• Reviewing CVs and cover letters
• Teaching the STAR+L framework for competency-based interviews
• Conducting mock interviews and providing feedback
• Having careers conversations to explore goals and opportunities
• Supporting candidates to disclose disabilities, health conditions, or convictions effectively and confidently

🔍 The Application & Onboarding Process

• Apply: Via this Linked In 'job'.
• Virtual Interview: Book a 30-minute virtual interview with Alisha to discuss your experience and motivation.

Additional Requirements:
You may be asked to provide references, complete a DBS check for specific roles or complete a Fit and Proper declaration
