This is a part-time position and your working week will include some hours on a Friday.
The Post 16 EET Service manages a range of functions to support post 16 learners to engage in education, employment and training - you will be key in helping to support the wide range of work and exciting projects underway in the team.

You will have good literacy and IT skills and will be able to work on your own initiative to problem-solve. Good organisational skills and the ability to prioritise your workload are also key for this role and you should be able to work under pressure at times to meet deadlines, demonstrating your flexibility and resilience.
