Work Broker - Auckland
Who we are
English Language Partners is a not-for-profit, award-winning education provider with NZQA category 1 endorsement, that has been providing English language programmes and settlement services to adult migrants and former refugees throughout New Zealand for over 40 years.
With 21 centres spanning from Whangarei to Invercargill, our dedicated team of 350 staff and 800 volunteers annually supports more than 8,000 learners. We are passionate about supporting people to participate successfully in all aspects of life in Aotearoa New Zealand and we are looking for your help to achieve this.
About the role
This is a unique opportunity to be involved in the establishment of the Pathways to Employment team at English Language Partners. We want to improve settlement for people arriving from refugee backgrounds and by combining the current work we do teaching English, with supporting refugees into employment, we improve the outcomes of both activities.
You will be part of a national team of 11 work brokers reporting to the National Employment Manager, but you will also be embedded in one of our Auckland Centres. You will then be able to talk directly to those who teach the English language programmes.
An important part of your role will be to find employment opportunities for your job seekers. This will mean establishing strong relationships with the current employers in our networks but also building relationships with new employers. This may involve cold-calling and utilising your knowledge of local businesses.
You will also be identifying the specific needs and skills of your job seekers, and working with the Centre staff to reduce the barriers that your clients may have to gaining full time, permanent employment.
You will assist them to prepare for work, writing CV's, applying for jobs, attending interviews and when they are successful, understanding their contracts and their rights as an employee. You will also help them with the practical considerations when starting a job e.g. transport and childcare.
But your work doesn't finish there. You will be providing back up support to both your job seeker and their new employer during orientation and in the first 6 months of their employment.
Who you are
- You will have a background in recruitment or sales
- You will have a good understanding of the employment sector and also have a good local knowledge of the businesses in your area
- Lived experience or an understanding of employment barriers facing job seekers with refugee background
- You will be resilient and be able to move past the 'nos" that you get from employers until you get a "yes!"
- You will be positive, courageous and innovative, as well as willing to go the extra mile for your clients.
- You will have amazing interpersonal skills and be able to communicate and advocate well at all levels
- You will be willing to drive around Auckland to talk to employers
