Lincolnshire, United Kingdom Lincolnshire County Council Full time
About the Role

As a Strategic Skills Manager at Lincolnshire County Council, you will play a pivotal role in leading projects that support the Council's strategic skills priorities. Your key responsibilities will include driving learner engagement through promotional activity, learner voice, and building progression opportunities through partnership working. You will also be responsible for line managing two IAG and Progression Officers, who will drive forward improvements in supporting learners to secure positive outcomes and achieve career goals.

You will be an integral part of promoting skills and delivering over 7,000 training places to adults each year, driving forward the Council's Employment and Skills Plan. You will need a full driving licence and access to a vehicle due to the geographical scope of the role, covering the whole of Lincolnshire.

LCC offers an agile and flexible hybrid working model, allowing you to achieve a balance between personal and professional commitments. You will be expected to work from the office with your team at least once a week, typically on Thursdays, and potentially a second day as needed. Some travel will be necessary to attend partnership meetings with subcontracted providers at their locations.

About You

You will actively contribute to the Council's ambition to raise skill levels and aspirations of adults across Lincolnshire. You will work autonomously, make decisions, develop and maintain partnership relationships, drive forward projects, and develop strategy around engagement and business development. You will need to be skilled at building and maintaining strong interpersonal relationships.

Ideal candidates will have:

  • Education to degree level and relevant experience in a post-16 education environment.
  • A minimum of Level 3 Adult Teaching Qualification (PTLLS or equivalent) or willingness to obtain.
  • Experience in contributing to business development or marketing processes, including engagement initiatives, social media, and traditional marketing, and developing strategy.
  • Demonstrable experience in partnership working, managing business relationships, or project management.
  • Suitable ICT skills (Microsoft Office).

We are an established team with a wealth of knowledge, skills, and experience keen to welcome new members in our ambition to deliver outstanding adult skills provision across the county.
