You’ll support each individual in their employment journey and break down the barriers that present along the way.

This is a great time to join ECL as we continue our transformational Inclusive Employment service that provides a journey of support to our customers.

Please note that while ECL does hold a visa sponsor licence, we do not currently accept direct applications from candidates requiring visa sponsorship. Instead, we work with a designated third-party provider to support sponsorship arrangements. Therefore, applicants who do not already have the right to work in the UK and/or require visa sponsorship to continue working in the UK cannot be considered for this role through direct application.
