Industry Placement Team Coordinator

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 opportunity to lead a team of "industry support officers" to identify our students' skills, interests and aspirations in order to match them to appropriate work placements, and support both the student and employer throughout the placement to ensure it is a success for all stakeholders. This will include coordinating the development of resources to support students, employers and curriculum to fully engage in placements, and monitoring and reporting on the progress of placements. The post holder will be responsible for the line management of the industry placement team, allocating caseloads, and producing reports for departmental and wider college purposes. The post holder needs to be able to develop excellent working relationships with students, employers and colleagues, be understanding of students' needs, and have excellent leadership skills.

Leeds City College is committed to Equality of Opportunity (ensuring everyone is treated fairly) and safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. 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. We positively welcome applications from all sections of the community.
