This role is an opportunity to join an innovative, fast-growing company that offers the right applicant the chance to develop their career aspirations. This new key role will support a range of projects across the company, with the option for occasional international travel.
About the job
Rinova Ltd are currently seeking an Employer Liaison and Engagement Lead Officer to support delivery across a range of funded projects in skills, employability and training. Initially, the role will be focused on two key sectors - hospitality and the creative industries, and both projects will be delivered in the London Borough of Southwark. There will subsequently be an opportunity to support other projects related to skills and requiring employer engagement across London.
For the hospitality project, the candidate will work with existing and potential hospitality employers, driving engagement and forging pathways for potential job candidates in the borough of Southwark for opportunities in hospitality roles. The candidate will explore job opportunities for local residents in subsectors such as travel and tourism and the expanding experience economy. In addition the candidate will seek out opportunities for up-skilling local residents who are already in employment.
For the creative and cultural programme, the successful candidate will be expected to support the development of a network of a wide range of employers across the creative sector, including but not limited to film, music, literature, theatre, performance, gaming, fashion, arts & crafts. This will require strong stakeholder engagement skills, encouraging participation from employers in steering groups, networking events and contributions to skills and training initiatives.
This role would suit someone with experience in employer relations, careers advice, work placements or arranging apprenticeships. We need a committed, enthusiastic, and positive individual to join our fantastic team of professionals - empathy, great communication skills and a passion for helping people achieve their potential are must-haves. The successful candidate will be able to identify and engage potential employers, broker and establish ongoing dialogue and good relations with them and find ways for them to assist in forging clear pathways for participants identified within the programmes. They will be expected to present to external partners and stakeholders.
The role will be offered on a full-time basis mainly working within the Rinova office and across the Southwark borough, with the opportunity to work remotely on occasions.
About us
Rinova Ltd is an employee-owned company and a social enterprise operating in the fields of social, economic and cultural development. We specialise in the design and delivery of projects in employment, learning and skills, enterprise, arts and culture and regeneration - in London and internationally.

Our work includes project development, project management, research, evaluation, funding development, training and capacity building. The client is at the heart of everything we do; our success depends upon partnership working and forging positive and productive relationships with our partners and stakeholders.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone that can broker successful partnerships between employers and potential employees and loves supporting individuals to achieve their employment, education and personal goals.
