Role details
We currently have a vacancy for an Inclusive Economy Manager to join our Employment and Skills team.
The Employment and Skills team provides leadership across the breadth of this fast growing agenda in order to deliver the Mayor of West Yorkshire’s pledge to make West Yorkshire a region of learning and creativity. The team’s role includes oversight and leadership of strategic commissioning, convening of partners and system leadership and will only grow under single integrated settlement and greater devolution.
This post leads a committed team of seven people – including two direct reports – and is responsible for the development of activity that supports the region’s ambitions for education and all-age careers, including the West Yorkshire Careers Hub, co-funded by the Careers and Enterprise Company. The successful applicant will take on this role at a pivotal time, as the region’s first Integrated Settlement with government heralds greater flexibility to tailor investment to regional need, and the Combined Authority prepares to re-shape how it supports careers provision and employer engagement in schools and colleges following more than 10 years of delivering the Careers Hub.
