We are looking for a forward thinking Developing Young Workforce (DYW), Employer School Coordinator to work with school staff and partners to deliver this important programme for our young people in Perth High.

The role will be to support senior leaders to embed the Developing the Young Workforce Strategy and other employer offers within the curriculum.

Coordinators will create and implement a structure for employer engagement which reflects the school's demographic, regional and local DYW plans and maintain a robust network of partners within the local business community.

In doing so you will support school leadership teams in fulfilling national priorities around employability and enterprise, Career Education Standard and Work Placement Standard.

By paying close attention to local and national employment data and fostering good relationships, DYW School Coordinators identify opportunities for collaborative working focussed on better outcomes for young people.

The Individual:

Coordinators will work in partnership with guidance teachers, DYW staff, SDS Careers advisors, other third sector providers and other partners to identify young people who would most benefit from increased employer engagement and then facilitate the employer aspect of these interventions.

As part of the wider DYW group they will help ensure that support is targeted at groups aligned to DYW Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

Part of the role will be to contribute to the capture of all work inspiration activities and interventions delivered with the school, including changes in Strategic partnerships, to align with the DYW national KPIs helping to report school activity and data associated with DYW (in relation to KPI's), providing evidence of activity at key stages throughout the year.

If you have a passion for inspiring the next generation, a track record of working with education & employability programmes, are enthusiastic and flexible with a "can do" attitude then this role is for you.
