Hammersmith, United Kingdom Hammersmith & Fulham Council Full time

The Hammersmith & Fulham Industrial Strategy - called Economic Growth for Everyone - reflects our ambition to make our borough the best place to do business in Europe and to ensure that everyone benefits, not just a favoured few. We believe local government has a role in supporting growth. It can bring partners together, regenerate town centres, help with affordable workspaces, teach people the skills they need, use procurement to support local firms and much more. In Hammersmith & Fulham, we want to use the power of local government to create a borough able to compete with the best in the 21st century.

The focus of our Economic Development service - and the Industrial Strategy as it moves to its next phase - will be the continued growth of the borough’s highest potential and most resilient sectors, specifically, life sciences, biomed, digital, tech, creative, and green industries.

As Strategic Lead for Apprenticeships and Employment Pathways you will support the creation of high-quality opportunities brought about by employer engagement, council procurement and regeneration schemes. You will build partnerships with training providers to ensure that the programme is underpinned by a strong skills offer, relevant to the needs of local employers and work with large corporations to develop a local Apprenticeship Levy sharing platform.

You will put in place structures to help create excellent outcomes for service users - championing pathways for residents from all backgrounds to sustainable career access and progression through various routeways including apprenticeships, equitable internships, and meaningful volunteering opportunities.
