Promoting a range of training programmes through outreach, events, and digital campaigns
*
Representing at open days, career fairs, and community events
*
Generating leads through sales calls, networking, and partnerships
*
Collaborating with organisations to develop new learner referral pathways
*
Meeting key targets and KPIs to help drive the success of the programme
🙌 What We’re Looking For:
*
A confident communicator with a natural ability to connect with young people
*
Experience working in youth support, education, community outreach, or a similar role
*
Strong relationship-building and networking skills
*
Organised and self-motivated with the ability to manage a varied workload
*
Comfortable presenting and promoting to diverse audiences
*
IT literate with good digital communication skills
*
Knowledge of safeguarding and a commitment to learner welfare
*
A full driving licence and access to a vehicle is desirable (as travel is involved)
