Role Profile

Do you want to make a difference to the futures of thousands of people? Do you want to work in a dynamic, fast-paced and stimulating environment? Then you might just be the person we’re looking for!
The Skills & Work Team have some exciting opportunities to help deliver our ambitious and ground-breaking priorities. Working as part of a team and closely with the Mayor of Greater Manchester, local authorities, government departments, businesses, voluntary and community sector enterprises and a broad range of local partners, you can help to create a truly great Greater Manchester where:-

• Young people have the skills to succeed in work and life
• People can improve their skills to help businesses compete globally
• People will get the support they need to find work and thrive

Greater Manchester is at the heart of the Northern Powerhouse and nationally at the forefront of devolution, so we’re not looking for people who are only good at talking about making change, but those who can roll their sleeves up and deliver it.
If you are a genuine all-rounder with experience of managing or supporting the performance and contract management of grant funded contracts/programmes, this may just be the right role for you.
The roles will support the performance and contract management of a range of Skills and Employment related programmes, in particular, our Skills for Growth and Working Well programmes which are funded through the European Social Fund.
We are looking for applicants who have:
• High level of attention to detail working within a contracting and/or financial environment
• Strong commitment to high quality work.
• A high level of enthusiasm, personal drive and energy and a capacity for sustained effort and performance.

Please read through the role profiles and their specific requirements and if you think you fit the bill we look forward to receiving your application. If you’d like an informal chat about this roles, please contact Lisa Quigley on 07973 957717 or Neil Cragg on 07973 876702.
