We understand that many will have other commitments outside of work and so flexible working, part-time hours or job-sharing arrangements will be considered for the right candidate.
Please note; GCA has a high percentage of female participants and due to the nature of the referrals we receive there is a genuine occupational requirement to ensure that we recruit a female Employment Advisor. This would be a claim from GCA as an exception under the Equality Act 2010.
About Us:

About the Role:
Elevate is one service with two routes to employability: Elevate Glasgow PSP and the Recovery Employability Service. This role is based within the Recovery Employability Service. The Recovery Employability Service is part of the Elevate Employability project within Glasgow Council on Alcohol and the Employment Advisor will prepare participants for further training, education or work and support them through the job search, application and interview process; providing them with skills, motivation, and confidence to move into suitable sustainable employment.
Elevate Employability is a service which aims to support people in recovery from drug and/or alcohol use into volunteering, training, education and/or employment. We are delighted that we are now able to extend the service to include aftercare provision for those in work to include those affected by poor mental health or have experience of homelessness or the criminal justice service as well as those in recovery.
The Employment Advisor will make a real impact to individuals’ day to day lives as they uniquely tailor their personal development, offer emotional and practical support and set realistic goals as part of their journey to employability opportunities.
