We need a committed team player with excellent organisational skills - with the ability to work independently, manage time effectively and prioritise workload with high levels of drive and resilience. Results focused in your approach, you will act as a change agent through your enthusiasm for continuous improvement.

In return we can offer you a competitive salary, the opportunity to join the local government pension scheme and a strong sense of shared moral purpose to make a difference to the lives of young people.
