**Application deadline**:25/08/2023

In the role of Work Placement Officer for our Vocational Pathways and Motor Vehicle provision, you’ll be based at our Springfield and Waterfront sites but will spend a lot of your time sourcing placements, visiting employers and attending placements with students at organisations in and around Dewsbury and Huddersfield. Your focus will be on identifying and securing realistic work placement opportunities for students with SEMH needs. You will do this by helping them to identify and overcome personal barriers to employment; working with groups or individuals both inside and outside the classroom. Your key responsibilities will be to to source, develop and maintain group and individual placement opportunities, that run throughout the academic year, organise visits to employers and ensure that Health and Safety is fully embedded.

This is a hands-on role working with students alongside tutors and other staff; some of which will require you to work outdoors if the specific job requires this. Ideally, you’ll have demonstrable experience in working with young people with SEMH needs as well as strong administrative and influencing skills. It’s important that you’re able to work flexibly, communicate effectively in writing and face-to-face and engage with young people with a range of needs as well as demonstrate our College values of Kindness, Unity and Excellence in your role. As the role is employer facing, you will be confident in working with a range of stakeholders. Due to the nature of our work, it’s essential you’re committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.

We believe learning is not just for our students: it’s an important part of working here too. Staff development opportunities include a mentoring scheme, financial contributions for external qualifications and skills development for current and aspiring managers. You’ll also have access to a range of staff benefits including an employee assistance programme, retail and leisure discounts and reduced Metro travel. We want people who believe in the value of education, and who can contribute to our culture of supporting and challenging one another.
