Sector Hub Coordinator:

2 year fixed term contract (with option to extend for additional year) / Secondment

This role is hosted by West London Alliance (WLA). WLA is a sub-regional local government partnership between the seven West London local authorities of Barnet, Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon and Hounslow. WLA aims to build a more inclusive, more productive, more resilient, and more influential future for West London. We work across borough boundaries to deliver improvements for everyone that lives, works, learns, visits, and invests in West London.

The post holder will lead the successful delivery of the new West London sub-regional sector focused activity programme, funded by the Greater London Authority (GLA).

The overarching aim of the programme is to help more West Londoners to progress into and within employment in priority sectors of the economy, increasing individual prosperity and ensuring that West London employers have the talent pipeline they need to succeed. An effective skills system and clear pathways into, and within, priority sectors are critical to addressing the issues faced by resident jobseekers, learners, employees and local businesses alike. Through this sector-focussed activity, we will work with key partners to support priority sectors with targeted interventions, as well as looking at key cross-cutting themes that affect all sectors, for example, essential skills (also known as soft/transferable skills) and English language as a barrier to employment/progression.

The post holder would be expected to work from the office at least one day/week, as well as attending events across London as required.

This is a pivotal role with responsibility for delivering on agreed, measurable outcomes, working closely with the Economy and Skills Manager. The post holder will have extensive working knowledge of the skills and employment system and current policy, including an understanding of West London’s ecosystem.

Interviews: we plan to hold interviews on Wednesday 10 June at Perceval House.
