An exciting opportunity to help turn a new national initiative into reality as it moves from planning into delivery. Over the next year, we will be launching a new, national Foundation Degree while building the foundations of a wider programme of work. This role will play a key part in making that launch happen in practice, working flexibly across partnership development, recruitment and onboarding, and organisational development. The role is designed to adapt to what is most needed through the launch phase, with a strong focus on working with partners and colleagues to ensure Year 1 delivery is successful. Working closely with the Centre for the Children's Workforce team, delivery partners and the University of East London, this person will help build the systems, relationships and momentum needed to move from planning to delivery, while contributing to CCW’s longer-term organisational capacity.
