About the Role

You will lead on projects to support the Council's strategic skills priorities, drive learner engagement through promotional activity, learner voice and building progression opportunities through partnership working, liaising with the wider teams and providers to support our strategic priorities and securing positive outcomes for learners and our communities.

You will play an integral part in promoting skills and the service delivering over 7,000 training places to adults each year and driving forward the Council's Employment and Skills Plan. We cover the whole of Lincolnshire and therefore you will need a full driving licence and access to a vehicle.

  • 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.
