About DiversITy-talent
DiversITy-talent is a fast-growing social enterprise on a mission to inspire, empower and support untapped, underrepresented talent who haven't always had equal access to opportunities in business, technology and entrepreneurship.
Having successfully established ourselves in the South West, we're now expanding across the UK, with Telford and the West Midlands becoming one of our key growth regions. We're looking for an ambitious, passionate and proactive individual to help establish and lead our regional presence.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a purpose-driven organisation at a pivotal stage of growth and play a key role in shaping the future of our impact.
The Role
As our Regional Partnerships & Programme Manager, you will be responsible for developing and growing DiversITy-talent's presence across Telford and the surrounding region.
You'll build strong relationships with education providers, employers, community organisations and local stakeholders while delivering engaging programmes that inspire young people and adults to develop future-ready skills and access meaningful opportunities.
You'll become the face of DiversITy-talent in the region, helping create partnerships that transform lives and strengthen local communities.
Key Responsibilities
Partnership Development
- Build and maintain strong relationships with schools, colleges, universities, employers and community organisations.
- Develop strategic partnerships that create pathways into employment, apprenticeships, entrepreneurship and further learning.
- Represent DiversITy-talent at local networking events, stakeholder meetings and community initiatives.
