Project Officer Skills
2 year fixed term contract (with option to extend for an 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.
Program Description
The post holder will support 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.
Key Skills and Experience
The role requires outstanding relationship building and management skills, with the ability to facilitate efficient, trusting partnership working between Local Authority colleagues and other key partners. The project officer will have strong communication skills and be confident working alongside a large group of diverse stakeholders. They will use their skills to persuade and motivate stakeholders to ‘come on the journey’ to deliver the best outcomes for West London residents. The post holder will be knowledgeable (or interested in learning about) the skills and employment system and current policy.
Interviews
We plan to hold interviews on Friday 12 June at Perceval House.
