You will play a vital role in supporting the team’s delivery of London’s Adult Skills Fund and other devolved skills programmes, as well as contributing to the development of skills and adult education policy in line with the Mayor’s London Growth Plan, supporting inclusive growth and the health and wellbeing of Londoners.
We are looking for someone who can effectively work with a range of stakeholders, has experience of policy development, can communicate complex issues, and inspire action. You will be responsible for proactively managing stakeholder relationships, commissioning research, and contributing to policy and programme development and implementation.
