Job description

INTERNAL DCC APPLICANTS ONLY

Secondment - 12 months until 31st August 2027

Full Time - 37 hours per week (part time hours considered)

Do it to prepare young people for their best next steps. Do it for Devon.

The Careers & Enterprise Company (CEC) is the national body for careers education in England, delivering support to schools and colleges to deliver modern, 21st century careers education.

Careers Hubs bring together schools, colleges, employers, and apprenticeship providers in a local area. The goal is to work together and help schools and colleges improve how they prepare young people for their best next steps.

What you'll be doing

This is a very busy and exciting role providing opportunity to get involved in a wide range of tasks and activities.

The successful candidate will be coordinating our incredibly successful Empowering Girls mentoring programme, supporting events, organising meetings and diaries, administering basic finance procedures, creating engaging social media content alongside newsletters for various audiences, and inputting data to generate meaningful reports.

This is a full-time, 12-month secondment opportunity until 31 August 2027, although part-time hours will be considered. As this role is being offered as a backfill for an existing secondment, any extension or continuation beyond this date will be dependent on the substantive postholder's circumstances and organisational requirements.

The post will provide administration support for a welcoming and friendly team covering Devon, Plymouth & Torbay.

Flexible and home working is possible but there may be an expectation to travel on occasion so a driving licence would be advantageous.
