London, Greater London, United Kingdom Richmond and Wandsworth Council Full time

Employer Engagement Officer

  • Are you a strong communicator with excellent relationship management skills?
  • Would you like to help strengthen the skills and employment system in South London and support employers to get the staff they need to thrive?
  • Do you want to help residents get into good, sustainable work?
  • Want a flexible and inclusive employer with fantastic leave entitlement and benefits?
  • Enjoy working remotely but happy to run and attend events across South London?

If so, this role is for you

South London Partnership are looking for an Employer Engagement Officer, to support the delivery of the No Wrong Door, South London Integration Hub and the delivery of the South London Local Skills Improvement Plan

You will be a strong communicator, with excellent relationship management skills. Willing to reach out and connect with employers across South London to support them to access the skills and employment system.

You will be responsible for supporting the Integration Hub Project Lead to deliver programmes and workstreams that enable key groups of Londoners who are unemployed and/or are facing vulnerabilities or structural inequalities, to access good work.

As an Employer Engagement officer you will have the opportunity to make a material impact on the lives of south Londoners by increasing improving their pathways to skills and good quality jobs with employers in the sub region.

South London Partnership (SLP) is a small and dynamic, close-knit team, working across the 5 boroughs of Croydon, Kingston, Merton, Richmond, and Sutton. The SLP team focuses on areas where collaboration leads to increased influence, increased powers and funding and better delivery of the services our residents need.

About the role

The South London Partnership (SLP) is a cross-party five borough sub-regional partnership of Croydon, Kingston upon Thames, Merton, Richmond upon Thames, and Sutton. It has a small core team working closely with politicians, chief executives, senior managers, and subject specialists in each of the five boroughs, as well as London and local stakeholders and partners. Together we have forged an ambitious programme of work that is securing greater sub-regional collaboration and traction on areas including, health, economy, skills, and transport. The SLP boroughs collaborate sub-regionally on things where they can secure more together than individually. The SLP team focuses on areas where collaboration leads to increased influence, increased powers and funding and better delivery of the services our residents need.

The South London Integration Hub is an exciting project, forming part of the Mayor's London Recovery Missions and the No Wrong Door' approach to employment and skills support, delivered across the five SLP boroughs. At present, the employment and skills landscape is complex, fragmented, and difficult for Londoners to navigate. This means that Londoners often struggle to access the support that could best meet their needs, and that services are not as coordinated as they could be. Additionally, the Local Skills Improvement Plan for South London has highlighted the need for increased engagement with employers so that they can be at the heart of skills provision in the subregion.

The role will see you linking with existing employer engagement forums, forging new links and relationships, and becoming our go to expert on employer engagement.

Although a flexible hybrid role you will link with employers across South London, deliver and attend events and meetings, therefore travel across South London will feature regularly within your work.

Essential Qualifications, Skills and Experience

  • Strong communication skills and relationship management skills
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and relationship management skills
  • An understanding of the skills and employment landscape locally, regionally, and nationally
  • Experience of organising and facilitating events and meetings
  • Ability to work independently, produce plans and timetables of own work and revise plans based on programme priorities

Closing Date: 9 June 2024

Shortlisting Date: W/C 10 th June 2024

Interview Date: TBC
