Darlington Learning and Skills Service is a high performing adult and community learning provider, graded ‘Good’ by Ofsted. We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, flexible and committed professional to develop and deliver learning and support programmes for young people age 16-29 to engage then in education, employment or training (as part of our new Youth Employment Initiative (YEI) / European Social Fund (ESF) programme which will run until July 2018).
As part of the delivery team, you will have a key role to play in overseeing the development and delivery of learning and support programmes to meet the needs of the young people.
