Employer Liaison Team
Sefton@Work vacancies arise from our work with employers. These employers are offered a bespoke service with their recruitment, selection and retention of staff. This means that an Employer Liaison Officer works with the employer to ensure that appropriate HR policies are in place; we may support the employer with the compilation of job descriptions, contracts of employment, induction, discipline and grievance procedures, absence management and signpost to other business support.We will supply example interview questions, sift application forms, conduct pre-screening interviews giving employers feedback on the applicants, so that we put forward the most suitable candidates for the employer to interview and identify where, with some additional support applicants can join their workforce. This may mean negotiating with a Partner organisation to organise funding, arranging pre-employment training via a Learning and Skills funded Routeway or a Work Trial.
We can give applicants feedback if they are not put forward to the employer, so that they can improve their employability prospects for the future. We can also arrange for an appointment with an Adviser for Sefton residents who can help with information, advice and guidance with training and employment opportunities.
In addition, the Employer Liaison Team supports large scale recruitments such as Asda and Tesco.
