The postholder will support the pilot which is operating in 4 Jobs & Benefits offices (JBOs) - Limavady, Lisburn, Knockbreda and Shaftesbury Square.

The Local Development Officer’s role will be to support Personal Advisers and other JBO staff by forging links and working relationships between them and a wide range of organisations offering opportunities and support in the community to lone parents.

Such organisations may include Extended Schools providers, Sure Start and other childcare providers, as well as voluntary and community sector bodies offering services to lone parents.

Such links will:

  1. optimise the flow of information about childcare and community initiatives to Personal Advisers and lone parents
  2. provide opportunities for the Local Development Officer and local JBO staff and managers to market DEL products and services directly to the organisations and the lone parent client group; and
  3. provide opportunities for the Local Development Officer and local managers and staff to influence voluntary and community groups providing services for lone parents to encourage the client group to become active in the labour market.
