Job Description
Youth Employment Manager
Regional Office Worker - Site & Community based (Covering Coventry & Solihull)
Salary: Starting from £40,000 per annum + Package
About the Role
We are looking for a confident Leader to bring focus, pace, and consistency to the Youth Jobs Guarantee programme. This is a delivery leadership role, supporting a multidisciplinary team to perform well, stay on track, and deliver a high-quality service for young people, employers, and partners.
Working closely with the Service Manager, you will turn programme priorities into clear team actions, keep workloads moving, and use performance information to spot risks early. You will coach colleagues, strengthen practice, and make sure records, evidence, and customer journeys are accurate, joined up, and audit ready.
You will create the conditions for frontline colleagues to do their best work: clear expectations, regular feedback, purposeful case reviews, strong operational controls, and a culture of continuous improvement.
What You Will Be Doing
- Lead, motivate, and organise the delivery team, setting clear standards for performance, quality, and professional conduct.
- Coach colleagues through regular one-to-ones, team meetings, objective setting, feedback, and development planning.
- Use data and management information to monitor progress, manage risk, and keep delivery aligned to programme targets.
- Coordinate caseloads, diaries, outreach, training, employer activity, and administration so the service runs smoothly.
- Lead case and pipeline reviews, making sure actions are clear, purposeful, and followed through.
- Support forecasting and reporting, giving the Service Manager clear updates on performance, staffing, participant progress, employer pipelines, and emerging issues.
- Check the quality of records, evidence, and customer journeys, taking action where standards need to improve.
- Respond appropriately to complaints, incidents, safeguarding concerns, and service problems, escalating when needed.
- Promote joined-up working across Employment Advisors, Employer Engagement Advisors, Trainers, Contact Centre Advisors, and programme administration colleagues.
