We’re on a mission to find enterprising minds of all ages and help them discover their potential.

We are looking for a passionate, motivated Learning Consultant to support the creation of the Rob Wood Enterprising Futures Academy. This is a new and exciting initiative founded by Newcastle University graduate, philanthropist, and entrepreneur Rob Wood, funded by a £1.25 million donation.

The Academy will advance the University’s enterprise and entrepreneurship offer to students and graduates as well as outreach work in secondary education. We are determined to inspire others to find the confidence, skills, and opportunity to build success for themselves, and change the fortunes of our region and communities. Our region should be a thriving place for enterprising people of all ages to build successful careers and start-ups. A place where every person can be creative, courageous and build a better future for themselves.

- Prepare them for changing labour market environments and provide them with alternative perspectives on their career options.
- Support learners across different educational settings to develop competencies to lead to a rewarding, self-determined professional career whilst adding significant social, cultural and economic value through their entrepreneurial activity.
- Support more students and recent graduates to consider self-employment/ starting their own business.

The post is full time, fixed term until 31st July 2028.

About you
You should bring with you experience of enterprise and entrepreneurship and be able to demonstrate the ability to develop and deliver value-adding, learner-centred interventions. Your ability to engage and influence stakeholders to ensure they are fully engaged in the successful implementation of the initiatives you are working on will be the key to your success.
