Work Experience Project Development Lead

Leeds City College is one of the UK’s largest FE establishments with around 1400 employees and over 17,400 students. Offering a diverse curriculum within a vibrant and multicultural learning environment, our goal is to deliver excellent and innovative education which supports and inspires every student to achieve their ambitions.

This is an exciting post to lead the work experience team in sourcing and co-ordinating work experience opportunities for students across a variety of departments at Leeds City College and for Year 10 students at White Rose Academy Trust schools.

This will include working with our Business Engagement Lead to develop and implement an employer engagement plan, including sourcing and maximising opportunities with organisations with corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes. The post holder will be responsible for the line management of the work experience team, keeping systematic records and reporting on the team’s activity, and leading on case studies, promotional materials and evaluation processes.

The post holder needs to be able to develop effective relationships with employers, colleagues and students, work to targets in a fast paced environment, have excellent leadership skills, and a strong understanding of data and reporting.

All successful applicants are required to complete an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Services (DBS) check as well as mandatory pre-employment checks which may also include checking social media profiles.
