At Kirklees College we are always looking for new talent, and welcome applications from all sectors.

Whether in a teaching & learning role or in one of our specialised Business Support functions, you'll be involved in nurturing and developing the next generation of construction workers, engineers, health workers and countless others.

We're already a successful college, but we're continually striving to be better and do better - be part of our story!

In the role of Employer Engagement and Recruitment Advisor you'll predominantly be based at The Waterfront Quarter and your focus will be to contribute to the successful performance of the Business Development function to deliver growth and achieve recruitment targets by effectively managing key relationships.

Your key responsibilities will be to work closely with internal and external stakeholders, promoting, selling and securing opportunities for employers to work with the college as well as proving outstanding customer service.

Ideally, you'll have experience in sales with a track record of meeting targets and deadlines or be able to prove equivalent ability and demonstrable experience in customer facing roles and relationship management. Employer visits are an essential part of the role so a Driving licence and access to a car is required. It's important that you're able to communicate effectively and demonstrate our college values of Kindness, Unity and Excellence in your role.

Due to the nature of our work, it's essential you're committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.

We believe learning is not just for our students: it's an important part of working here too. Staff development opportunities include a mentoring scheme, financial contributions for external qualifications and skills development for current and aspiring managers. You'll also have access to a range of staff benefits including an employee assistance programme, retail and leisure discounts and reduced Metro travel.

We want people who believe in the value of education, and who can contribute to our culture of supporting and challenging one another.
