About the Role

Are you passionate about the power of apprenticeships?

Do you enjoy enabling people and organisations to fulfil their potential?

Working in a new role of Strategy Manager (Apprenticeships) you will achieve both of these and more. With the introduction of the new Levy arrangements this is an exciting time for apprenticeships, and none more so than with us. You will shape, deliver and grow our apprenticeship programme across the Council, helping to maximise its impact. Working with internal and external partners and stakeholders, you will play a critical role in the future of our workforce development and skills strategies, helping to ensure that we have a workforce with the right skills to deliver our diverse range of services to the communities we serve.

Working as part of a supportive team, you will have the opportunity to create something new whilst fully utilising the knowledge, skills and experience you bring with you.

Additional Information

Work Permits: we may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Border Agency’s Points-based Immigration System.

From 6 April 2011 the Home Office has placed a permanent restriction on the number of migrant workers that all Tier 2 (General) Sponsors can recruit. Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits.
