We're looking for an exceptional Skills Hub Manager to help bring this vision to life.

About the Role

As Skills Hub Manager, you'll be at the centre of daily operations, ensuring the Hub runs smoothly, safely and professionally. You'll be the first point of contact for learners, employers, staff, visitors and partners, creating a positive and supportive environment where everyone feels welcome.

• Manage the day-to-day operation of the Skills Hub.
• Coordinate administration, facilities and room bookings.
• Support the delivery of adult learning programmes, including Skills Bootcamps and SWAPs.

You will:

• Be highly organised with strong attention to detail.
• Take ownership and use initiative.
• Deliver an outstanding learner experience.
• Be confident managing challenging situations and resolving concerns.
• Be committed to equality, inclusion, safeguarding and learner welfare.
