What You'll Be Leading

  • Strategic delivery of a flagship employment programme
  • A dedicated team of Employment Coaches and an Employer Engagement Officer
  • Relationships with employers, commissioners and key partners
  • Performance, quality and continuous improvement
  • Positive outcomes that change lives and strengthen communities

Could you be the leader we're looking for?

If you're an experienced manager with a passion for employment and skills, a track record of delivering results, and the drive to create opportunities for people who need them most, we'd love to hear from you.

Join us and help shape brighter futures.
