Employer Engagement

2 weeks ago

Huddersfield, United Kingdom Kirklees College Full time

Whether in a teaching & learning role or in one of our specialised Business Support functions, you’ll be involved in nurturing and developing the next generation of construction workers, engineers, health workers and countless others.

We’re already a successful college, but we’re continually striving to be better and do better - be part of our story

In the role of Employer Engagement and Placement Advisor, you’ll predominantly be based at The Waterfront Quarter but may work across all our Huddersfield and Dewsbury Centres. Your focus will be on proactively generating sufficient high-quality placements and other employer-led activities to enhance the overall student experience. A driving license and access to a car is essential for this role.

Your key responsibilities will include employer engagement, proactively generating new business leads to secure and maintain a wide range of work placement opportunities to meet the needs of students’ study programmes, liaising with Personal Development Tutors for the matching process, and linking students to relevant placement opportunities generated.

You will also be expected to plan, organise, and participate in employer engagement activities and events designed to strengthen partnerships, raise the profile of our organisation, and expand opportunities for our students.

Ideally, you’ll have a track record of generating new business leads through targeted telesales and networking activity (or be able to demonstrate equivalent ability), along with proven experience in developing and maintaining quality employer and partnership relationships. It’s important that you’re able to communicate effectively across all areas of the college, build effective working relationships and provide first class customer service and demonstrate our college values of Kindness, Unity and Excellence in your role.

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.
