RCS Wales is recruiting job coaches and a team leader for a new supported-employment service in Wrexham and Flintshire, with applications closing on 24 November 2026. The roles will deliver Connect to Work, a UK government programme that helps disabled people, people with health conditions and others facing complex barriers to find work and keep it.

RCS Wales, a North Wales not-for-profit, is delivering the service on behalf of Flintshire and Wrexham councils after winning the contracts to run it in the two areas. The charity has run employment support in the region since 2007, according to Herald.Wales.

What the roles involve

Connect to Work job coaches will give one-to-one, tailored support to people with complex needs, helping them into work in line with the principles of Supported Employment. The job packs published with the adverts put the job coach salary at £29,511.67 rising to £33,899.63 a year, for a permanent 37-hour week. The team leader post, which will lead, coach and develop a team of job coaches, is advertised at £31,003.46 rising to £35,613.23. RCS is also advertising a Connect to Work operations manager, with applications closing on 1 December.

Full training will be given, and RCS says it wants to hear from people with experience of supporting people with complex needs. Its chief executive, Ali Thomas, told Herald.Wales the team is keen to hear from people who have supported others in education, social care or community groups and had not thought of job coaching.

How to apply

Applicants should download the application form and job pack from the RCS Wales vacancies page and email the completed form to recruitment@rcs-wales.co.uk by 24 November 2026. There is no fee to apply, and applications go directly to RCS Wales. The charity is also holding a free online recruitment session on Monday 16 November at 12.30pm, with an overview of the programme, details of the roles and a chance to ask questions.

Connect to Work is part of the UK government’s Get Britain Working strategy. In North Wales the programme is backed by £12.9 million over four years and aims to support 3,555 people into work, according to Denbighshire County Council, which leads the regional programme. Readers can find the adverts and job packs on the RCS Wales vacancies page.
