About the Role & Team
We are currently seeking full-time Employer Engagement Lead to join the Gloucestershire Careers Hub team on a fixed term basis to 31st August 2027 with the possibility of extension past this time.
The Gloucestershire Careers Hub is based in the Employment and Skills Hub at Gloucestershire County Council. It forms part of a network of Careers Hubs across England operating on behalf of the Careers and Enterprise Company (CEC) at a local level in partnership with local authorities.
Through our dedicated hub team, and a large network of business volunteers we support Gloucestershire’s secondary schools and colleges, providing resources and practical advice to help improve careers education.
This role will focus on managing the work with our employer networks and overseeing the work of our cornerstones employers and business volunteers, working to collaboratively improve careers education across the county. In this role you will lead and manage a CPD offer for employers that enables focussed collaboration, bringing together best practice from both industry and education. You will also be responsible for managing operational KPI’s set by our funders.
