Employer Engagement Executive

37 Hours per Week, Fixed Term and Permanent opportunities available
Build relationships with employers. Turn workforce need into opportunity.

Employers do not always need another sales pitch.

They need someone who will listen, understand what is getting in the way and help them find a practical route forward.

As our Employer Engagement Executive, you’ll work with businesses across Wigan, Greater Manchester and the wider region to understand their workforce needs and connect them with the right opportunities across Wigan & Leigh College.

That could mean apprenticeships. Commercial training. Adult learning. A sector-based work academy. A bespoke solution. Or a conversation that starts small and grows into a long-term partnership.

You’ll build new relationships and develop existing accounts. You’ll identify opportunities, follow leads through, work with curriculum and apprenticeship teams and make sure employers receive a responsive, joined-up service.

This is a role with targets and clear outcomes. We are looking for someone who is comfortable developing business, opening doors and keeping momentum. But the strongest people in this kind of role know that lasting results come from credibility, follow-through and understanding what an employer actually needs.
