About the Role
As a Workforce Retention Consultant, you’ll play a vital role in changing lives by helping people not just find work but thrive in it. Once clients step into their new roles, you’ll be the steady support they can rely on—ensuring they have the adjustments, encouragement, and guidance they need to succeed long term.
You’ll act as the trusted link between employees and employers, fostering strong, positive working relationships. Through practical support, education, and open communication, you’ll help both parties build the confidence and capability to work together effectively.
As clients grow in their roles, you’ll walk beside them—supporting their career development, uncovering future goals, identifying training opportunities, and helping them map out meaningful pathways for advancement.
Your impact will be seen in the stability of job placements, the progress clients make in their careers, and the successful achievement of key milestones. This is a role for someone who genuinely cares about people and finds purpose in helping others build brighter, more secure futures.
This role is fixed term until June 2030.
