Brent is a tremendously vibrant London borough where the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium dominates the skyline. Spanning both inner and outer London, it is a borough of huge contrasts in terms of its economic, environmental, ethnic and social make up. Brent’s diversity is evident to all who visit our borough and our long history of ethnic and cultural diversity has created a place that is truly unique and valued by those who live and work here.

Brent Start Adult and Community Learning is the largest local authority provider of adult learning within the West London Alliance area. The learner cohort is diverse and is drawn from an area which has higher levels of deprivation and unemployment compared to the London and West London averages. Learner achievement rates are higher than average compared to similar providers and learner satisfaction rates are also high.

 

The council is pursuing a far-reaching transformation agenda that better meets the needs of our community so it is an exciting time to join us.

 

Brent Start has been successful in its bid to run the Maths Multiply project. The postholder will be coordinating the programme which is designed to increase the number of adults participating in, and achieving, adult numeracy qualifications up to and including Level (both GCSE Grade C/4 or above, and Functional Skills Qualifications).

The programme aims are for more adults to achieve maths qualifications, improved labour market outcomes and increased adult numeracy across the population.
 

We are looking for an individual with the experience of coordinating or leading a team and driven to achieve targets, meeting project and programme milestones. You will be working closely with colleagues and partners from schools, colleges, voluntary organisations and government bodies. You will be managing stakeholder relationship, communication and building network to ensure successful delivery of the project.
