This is a unique and fantastic opportunity for someone to be involved end to end; through engaging educational partners, supporting the delivery of curricula activities, raising awareness of further and higher education programmes the College has to offer, and to support changing of the perception of the land-based sector, promoting high quality, rewarding careers.

Key responsibilities:

• Implement and deliver the School Engagement Strategy whilst successfully reaching associated targets.
• Collaborate with local and regional primary and secondary school leadership teams, education partners and agencies, and local authority teams.
• Work closely with the Head of Industry Partnership and Business Growth, and local Universities to develop improved employer/education links and increase student recruitment.
• Act as the conduit to bring about increased collaboration between pre-16 (and sixth form) education sector and industry.
• Produce monthly reports and analysis on school engagement activities, progress, and impact.

The successful candidate will have:

• Recent substantial and demonstrable experience of working within the post-16 sector.
• Recent experience of working and collaborating at a senior level within the school's sector, preferably across Cheshire & Warrington.
• Proven experience in implementing and embedding strategies within an educational setting.
• Ability to communicate effectively and influence individuals at all levels within an organisation.

If you're passionate about this role and believe you have the skills to make an impact, but don't meet every requirement, we'd still love to hear from you - your experience and potential matter!

We can offer you:

• 35 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• A two-week festive/New Year shut down
• Generous pension scheme with an employer contribution of 24.8%
• Enhanced sick pay of up to 6 months full pay depending upon service
