Description
This is an exciting time to join my client, set up in August 2004.

Since then, we have continued to develop and deliver programmes to support both young people and adults to learn, achieve and progress to greater opportunities.

My client is an organisation that believes in creating opportunities for all.

It is an organisation that is ethical, friendly, and considerate and encompasses these values in all its services and operations.

Most of all we believe in working together as a team to create opportunities for the individuals we work with to grow, to help them recognise and achieve their aspirations and goals and attain a positive outcome.


The staff who work for my client are learner centric and want to make a real difference to the people they work with, enabling them to improve their employment situation, some of whom will have had poor experiences of learning and employment in the past.

Some may have complex lives and require signposting to other organisations who can help.


Staff are valued and recognised for the contribution they make towards the organisation's vision and goals and the effective support they provide to the individuals we engage with.

We have a strong belief that success is created together; one of the reasons why we are a great employer to work for.


Who are we looking for?
Are you an inspiring individual with a real passion for creating great working relationships with others and looking for a rewarding new challenge?

Can you engage and build positive relationships with employers to assist young people and adults who may have complex needs? Do you feel that people who have not had the best experience of education or employment in the past deserve an opportunity to develop their skills, and abilities to have the best chance to succeed?


Are you enthusiastic, determined, and resilient and have effective communication skills? Can you help others to solve problems by thinking of practical solutions? Your success will be measured by the number of employer engagements with Apprenticeship, Training starts and outcomes that support client projects.

We are looking for a sales-driven individual with an eye for commercial opportunities as well as maximising our government-funded projects.
