Business in the Community is seeking a new Project Manager to support employability programmes in Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.
The role is essentially concerned with engaging businesses in Get Ready! and Ready for Work – programmes which aim to help homeless people to find employment and achieve independent living by providing workshops, visits, training and work placements with local employers.
The successful candidate will have strong communication skills and be able to operate credibly at all levels in the private and community sector. The job requires sensitivity to the barriers that vulnerable people can experience in gaining sustainable employment, as well as an understanding of the business drivers and priorities of private sector employers.
Strong project management skills are required, as is the ability to prioritise a demanding workload and be administratively self sufficient.
The role is home-based but it requires travel across the region and occasional attendance at evening and early morning events.
Full job description is attached.
