Reporting to and working closely with a range of partners, you’ll work with the Council teams, Local Enterprise Partnership, Education establishments across Worcestershire as well as interacting with young people whilst ensuring that your role contributes to deliver the desired outputs, outcomes and benefits, in line with the programme. Reporting to the Careers Hub Deputy Manager these roles will work in education establishments and venues around the county as well as in our Wildwood campus in Worcester over 35 hours a week.

The two posts will be contracted to 30th September 2021 and 30th September 2023 respectively.
