**This is a permanent post linked to funding.**

We currently have a vacancy for a Projects Officer to join our Adult Education Budget (AEB) Team within the Economic Services directorate.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the AEB Team and be at the forefront of a programme focussed upskilling adults, connecting them to employment opportunities and supporting career progression.

In 2021 the £1.8bn devolution deal was secured for West Yorkshire. This meant the first Mayor of West Yorkshire was subsequently elected, with Tracy Brabin taking up post in May 2021.

The devolution deal and election of the Mayor has enabled us to start to drive up living standards for local communities while tackling the climate emergency and helping to deliver our commitment to become a net zero carbon city region by 2038.

A key element of the devolution deal is responsibility for the £65m Adult Education Budget, which this role directly supports.
