Reporting to the Business Growth and Inclusion Contract and Programme Manager, it will be your responsibility to plan, organise and co-ordinate resources to carry out service activities to the required standard. You will need to evidence experience of providing key worker support, building relationships with organisations and you will have successfully delivered and supported projects in the past, demonstrating effective partnership working as well as innovative and inclusive skills.
